EMMITSBURG, Md. (October 13, 2021) – Mount St. Mary's men's soccer heads across the Mason-Dixon line to the Keystone State Thursday, seeking multiple objectives as they take on the Red Flash of Saint Francis U.
 
MOUNT UPDATE
 
The Mountaineers are looking to right the fortunes of the past two weeks. Despite defensive efforts limiting Northeast Conference opponents to two goals in two matches, the team has seen five games pass without a victory.
 
Goals have been difficult to come by. The last score for the Mount came on September 30^th against Central Connecticut. Several opportunities in contests with James Madison came within a few agonizing inches of crossing the line.
