Eagles-Pine Manor Game Canceled, Host Bay Path Wednesday In NECC Quarterfinal

 

Nashua - The Daniel Webster College women’s soccer game at Pine Manor College, scheduled for Tuesday, October 28th, has been cancelled.

The Eagles now set their sites on their first postseason appearance since the 2002 season - and only their second postseason game in program history - this coming Wednesday, October 29th when they host Bay Path College in the quarterfinal round of the six-team inaugural New England Collegiate Conference championship tournament.

The fourth-seeded Eagles take on the fifth-seeded Wildcats beginning at 2:00 p.m. The winner advances to the NECC semifinals on Saturday, November 1st at top seed and regular season champion Elms College. The championship game is slated for Saturday, November 8th at the highest remaining seed.

The Eagles posted a 7-8 overall record and 5-3 mark in NECC play and will come into the postseason winners of two of their final three contests. The Eagles will be looking for their second win this season over the Wildcats, having posted a 2-1 overtime victory on September 13th in Longmeadow, Mass.

Bay Path owns a 3-10-1 overall mark and finished 3-4-1 in NECC play.
