The men's soccer team is trying to reach .500 this season, the only team to be close to the mark in three years. "If they reach this mark, it will be a great accomplishment with the soccer schedule that we are in," commented Rick Nese, student assistant coach. The men's soccer team has three away games left in its season (St. Vincent, Hilbert, and Slippery Rock). "If we bring a lot of effort to those matches, play with composure and as a team, we should be very successful in wrapping up the end of the season," commented Perritano. As the season is winding down, Coach Perritano had many thoughts about the success of the team and the outlook for upcoming years. "It was very enjoyable working with the men. They made my first season coaching here very successful. This men's soccer team is definitely pointed in the right direction as a team and as a program." %PORTS Come back here!: Freshman forward Andy Lafferty looks to steal the ball from his opponent in a match earlier this year at Behrend by Greg Kristen Collegian Staff NBA(National Bank Association)- The NBA will begin this season with a lot of multi-millionaires, such as basketball stars Larry Johnson, Anfernee Hardaway, and now Karl Malone.
