Heading into the conference championship game on November 9, the Drew men's soccer team, led by Coach Len Armuth, was rated 5th in the nation among Division III colleges and universities with a record of 18-1-1.

Drew has won its last 16 games in a row, 13 of them by shutouts. Drew has given up more than one goal in a game only twice this season, a 2-2 tie with Western Connecticut and a 3-2 overtime loss to Kean College, the only sour note on a terrific season.
