Men's Soccer Daily Update - Oct. 31

The field for the PBC Tournament has been set as the regular season came to a close on Saturday. Congratulations to the Flagler Saints, 2009 PBC Champions!

Flagler captures the PBC title after beating Francis Marino 3-1 in St. Augustine.  Its the first PBC title for the school barely five months after joining the conference.  With the title comes the #1 seed for next week's PBC Tournament and a first-round home match against eighth-seeded North Georgia.  See more about the Flagler game in the main story on the front page and the soccer page.

Lander was on the top of the standings for a few hours after they defeated Clayton State 1-0.  Jamie Ramm had the lone goal of the game on a header just 5:20 into play off a throw in from Craig Hughes.  LU keeper Matthew Atkinson made that stand up with a five-save shutout.  Lander was overtaken by Flagler, but is the #2 seed and host #7 USC Aiken on Tuesday.

North Georgia and UNC Pembroke fought to a 1-1 tie.  UNCP got on the board first with a goal from Carlos Cipriano but NGCSU answered with a score from Ben Tayi.  UNCP will be the #6 seed and play at #3 Clayton State.

Montevallo is the #4 seed and will host #5 Francis Marion on Tuesday.  All first-round games will be at 7:00 pm (local time).  The winners advance to the semifinals Nov. 6 at Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga.
