UMBC

For the first time in five America East Conference seasons, the UMBC men's soccer team has advanced in the league championship tournament and will now take on top-seeded Binghamton in the league semifinals. Kick-off is set for 2:00 p.m. in Vestal, N.Y. The fifth-seeded Retrievers earned the trip to Binghamton by virtue of a 5-4 advantage in penalty kicks after a 1-1 double overtime draw at fourth-seeded Hartford on Saturday. In 2003 and 2005, UMBC had a bye into the semis, but fell at home to Northeastern (1-0, 2003) and Binghamton (4-1, 2005).
