Lyco men’s soccer claims No. 5 seed in playoffs
Finishing the regular season by reaching 10 wins for the third straight season, the Lycoming College men’s soccer team has claimed the No. 5 seed in the team’s second Landmark Conference Championship, as it will open its postseason run in a first round game on Tuesday.
The winner of Tuesday’s playoff game will compete in a Landmark Conference semifinal game at top-seeded Juniata College at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Lycoming finished three points behind Scranton in the Landmark Conference standings, as Scranton finished the regular season 8-4-5 overall and 5-2-2 in the Landmark Conference.
Lycoming features an always threatening offense under freshman coach John Schwien, as the team leads the Landmark Conference with 121 corner kicks. The Warriors also rank third with a .781 save percentage and the team’s 0.84 goals-against average is second to only the Royals.
Junior Christian Woobay has transformed into one of the most dangerous offensive players in the Landmark, as he ranks second in the Landmark Conference in game-winning goals (5) and points (24), third in goals (9) and fifth for assists (6). Junior Keller Chamovitz also ranks amongst the top 15 in the league in game-winning goals (2).
Woobay is the first Warrior to eclipse 20 points in a season since Sainclair Tueno had 22 points in 2017 and has the most points for a Warrior since the 2015 season.
