Inside FDU on the Web — December 2002/January 2003



Men’s Soccer Advanced to Second Straight NCAA Tournament

For the first time since 1984, the Knights’ men’s soccer team hosted an NCAA Tournament game. This marked the Knights’ 13th NCAA appearance in the program’s history. Its first-round appearance against Holy Cross was played at the Metropolitan Campus.

Seth Roland, head men’s soccer coach (Metro), watched anxiously as the Knights squared off with Holy Cross in an NCAA Tournament game on the Metropolitan Campus.

The team didn’t disappoint the home crowd as it beat Holy Cross 7-6 in a penalty kick shootout.

The team then lost 2-1 in the second overtime to fourth-seeded St. John’s University in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on November 27. The Knights ended the season with an 11-5-7 record.

The FDU team earned its bid in the tournament by capturing the Northeast Conference (NEC) Championship with a thrilling shootout win over Long Island University. It became the first team in NEC history to win three consecutive soccer championships. The Knights also received a second consecutive Fair Play Award from the NEC for the sport. Seth Roland, assistant athletic director (Metro), has been head men’s soccer coach for six years.
