VERMONT MEN'S SOCCER WEEKLY NOTEBOOK
The Vermont men’s soccer team finishes its regular season with a home game against defending America East champions Boston U. at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. The game is a must-win for the Catamounts in order for their America East Tournament hopes to stay alive.

RECAP
The Catamounts went 0-2-0 last week with games at Stony Brook and home against Binghamton. Both games were 2-1 decisions with a late-goal being scored. On Wednesday Stony Brook jumped out to a 2-0 lead after 50 minutes and then Yannick Lewis (Toronto, Ontario) found the back of the net with less than four minutes remaining in the game to cut the lead to 2-1.

On Saturday Vermont honored its five seniors - Tom Critz, T.J. Gore, Marty Galvin, Jack Lindsay and Matt Hennessey - before the game. With 21 seconds remaining Matt Kristek was able to beat Critz for the 2-1 victory.

EXTRA TIME
UVM has played in five overtimes so far this season, going 0-0-5 in those games. Extra time is nothing new for Vermont under head coach Jesse Cormier. In the six seasons Cormier has been at the helm, UVM has played 43 overtime games, with a record of 8-9-26 in those games.

The school record for most overtimes came in 2006 when the Catamounts played 10 overtime games.

PLAYOFF PICTURE | America East Standings
Vermont currently sits two points ahead of Boston U. in the America East standings as both teams are fighting for its playoff lives. A win by either team will secure a spot as the final No. 6 seed in the America East Tournament.

If the two teams tie, Boston U. must defeat Albany on Halloween in order to advance to the tournament.
