Furman’s Sixth Annual Quinn Game Set for Saturday

Game Time Set for 7 p.m.

Greenville, S.C. – The Furman men's soccer team is back at Stone Stadium on Saturday evening for a 7 p.m. Southern Conference matchup against the 19th-ranked UNC Greensboro Spartans in the sixth annual "Quinn Game" for Down Syndrome Awareness.

Fans can follow the action on www.furmanpaladins.com via live stats. The game is being streamed via paid subscription on ESPN+. Updates will also be posted on the Furman men's soccer Twitter page (@FurmanSoccer).

Tickets for Saturday's contest are $5 and can be purchased at www.furmanpaladins.com or at the Stone Stadium entrance one hour prior to kickoff. Tickets for Furman students are free with their student ID.

Saturday's "Quinn Game" was created to promote awareness about Down Syndrome and to honor one of the program's biggest fans, Quinn Cronin, the daughter of former Furman soccer standout McNeil Cronin ('04).

The Paladins (2-6, 1-1 SoCon) are playing their first game since September 29 when they dropped a 2-1 overtime decision at College of Charleston. Furman was slated to host Presbyterian on Tuesday but the game was canceled due to inclement weather.

Jake Raine collected his team-leading fourth goal of the season against the Cougars while Ben Roberts finished with five saves in goal. Raine had a team-high four shots and tallied one attempt on goal along with Conor Dowler and Alfredo Diaz-Santillan.

Raine leads the Paladin offense this season with nine points on four goals and one assist. Miles Fenton contributes a team-best three assists. Roberts has registered 36 saves in goal to go with a 1.68 GAA and .720 save percentage.

UNC Greensboro currently sits at 8-2-1 overall and 2-0 in the SoCon after defeating Mercer 3-0 on October 2. Theo Collomb leads the Spartans with 25 points on 11 goals and three assists. Joseph Skinner has dished out a team-best five assists. In goal, Niclas Wild has 22 saves to go with a 0.76 GAA and .733 save percentage. UNCG is under the direction of third-year head coach Chris Rich.

Furman is facing UNC Greensboro for the 42nd time in program history with the Spartans leading the all-time series 19-18-4.

The Paladins return to action on Tuesday, October 12 hosting Bob Jones at 7 p.m.
