WATERBURY, Conn (October 28, 2011) Post University's (9-3-4, 8-2-1 CACC) men's soccer team enters the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference as the No. 1 seed and will host No. 8 Caldwell (7-8-2, 4-6-1 CACC) Monday afternoon in Waterbury.

“We are very excited to be the No. 1 seed and host a post-season game at our new field,” said Ted Haley, Eagles Head Coach. “We understand that there is no tomorrow if we do not come out and perform. As a team we are looking forward to a great week that will hopefully culminate in another CACC Championship and a possible NCAA berth.”
