Greenville, S.C. – The Furman men's soccer team looks to keep pace in the race for the Southern Conference regular season title when it travels to Greensboro, N.C., to battle UNC Greensboro in a 6 p.m. contest on Tuesday night at UNCG Soccer Stadium.
The Paladins come into Tuesday's match at 6-2-5 overall and 2-1-1 in league play following a scoreless draw at ETSU on Saturday night. The Spartans are 5-2-7 overall and 2-0-2 in the conference after playing to a 1-1 tie at Wofford this past weekend.
Saturday's contest marks the 50
th all-time meeting between the two most successful men's soccer programs in the SoCon. Furman and UNCG have combined to earn at least a share of the league regular season title in six of the last seven years and either the Paladins or Spartans have claimed the SoCon Tournament title in five of the last eight years. UNCG sports a 23-21-5 lead in the all-time series, but Furman recorded a 2-0 win in last season's regular season meeting and captured the SoCon Tournament crown with a 1-0, double overtime victory over the Spartans in last year's championship game at Stone Stadium.
The Furman-UNCG match will be streamed live on ESPN+ and the links for the video stream and live statistics are available on the men's soccer schedule page at FurmanPaladins.com.
