Washington-Stevenson Men's Soccer Primer

Today the men's soccer will be the first Washington College team to play in the 2008-09 academic year as they travel to suburban Baltimore to play Stevenson University, formerly Villa Julie College.

The Shoremen lead the all-time series against the Mustangs (nickname has not changed unlike the name of the institution), 5-2. The Shoremen won from 1996-98 and 2002-03, while the Mustangs won in 2001 and 2005. The last meeting was in 2005 was a 1-0 victory for then Villa Julie.

WC has won both of its openers under the guidance of third year head coach Drew Hoffman. In 2006, the Shoremen downed Chestnut Hill, 4-3, in Chestertown, while downing Alfred in 2007 at Lycoming by a score of 1-0.
