SENIOR NIGHT: Tonight will be senior night for Eckerd's three seniors -
Jordan Lee,
Mauricio Salvatierra and
Antonio Alvarez - who will play their final games at Johnson Field unless the Tritons host a conference tournament match later in the fall.  All three defenders have been key cogs in the Eckerd back line since their arrivals with  combined 111 starts.
RANKED STRETCH ENDS: The Tritons are coming off a stretch of four consecutive matches against nationally-ranked opponents. Â EC went 1-3 in those matches with a 3-1 win over then-No. 23 Tampa at home.
TEJADA STRIKES AGAIN: Juan David Tejada notched his eighth goal of the season on Tuesday night against No. 22 Florida Tech, bringing his season total to eight. Â He ranks sixth in the conference in goals scored and with one more goal, he will have recorded the most in a season by a Triton since Luke Sheekey in 2009.
ABOUT THE SHARKS: Nova Southeastern scored its first conference win on Wednesday, knocking off Barry on the road, 3-2. Â The team's 1-6 mark in conference play might be a little deceiving - five of those losses have come by a one-goal margin, including a 3-2 double overtime loss to then-No. 2 Lynn. Â Bestun Mohammed has come on strong as of late, scoring all four of his goals on the season in the team's last four matches.
