The #18 ranked NAIA Division II men’s soccer team in the nation comes to town today when Evergreen plays host to Concordia at Evergreen Pitch. The two teams currently sit 1-2 in the Cascade Collegiate League standings, the Cavaliers are 8-0 while the Geoducks are a game behind at 7-1.

The two teams met on September 25th at Tuominen Yard in Portland and Concordia walked away with a 2-0 victory. Two internationals scored for the Cavaliers, Sam Carmichael of Australia and Gerrit Hamann of Germany. Collin Harlow started the game in goal for the Geoducks but has not started a game since. Mauricio Sanchez, a transfer from Wenatchee Valley has posted two shutouts since he was allowed to play following some confusion on the Evergreen athletic department’s part about his eligibility and Mitch Treend played the first 75 minutes in the 2-0 win over Northwest Christian.

First touch out at Evergreen is scheduled for 1:00 PM.

Across town at the same time, the Saint Martin’s men’s soccer team welcomes Montana-State Billings to Lacey.

The Saints have really struggled this season and are just 1-7 in GNAC play and 2-10 overall but did take #12 Seattle Pacific to double overtime before dropping a heartbreaker last Saturday. The Yellowjackets haven’t been a whole lot better sitting at 3-4-1 in conference play. The two teams met on September 20th in Billings and the Yellowjackets handed the Saints a 3-0 loss.

First touch today at Saint Martin’s is at 1:00 PM.
