Men’s soccer wins second consecutive CAA title
Have you ever heard the adage “competition breeds champions”? Probably not, because I just made it up.

M. soccer grasps slim lead in CAA

Dragons split matches at Delaware and Maryland
In collegiate sports, conference games are generally more important than those of the out-of-conference variety.

M. soccer stumbles into CAA play
Something must be in the water at Vidas Field, or maybe there has been a bad batch of Wheaties going around.

Men’s soccer upset 3-2 in the Battle of 33rd Street

M. soccer shows ‘quality’ with 2-0 win over Rutgers
The Drexel men’s soccer team frequently used the adjective “quality” this past week when describing the team’s upcoming opponent, Rutgers University.

Protests stunt World Cup, Olympic buildup in Brazil
