Philadelphia - Drexel men's soccer puts its seven-match unbeaten streak on the line when the Dragons travel to play George Mason on Wednesday night. The team is currently in third place in the CAA standings and trying to distance itself from a very tight field of opponents in hopes of sewing up a bid in the conference tournament for a second straight season. The 7:00 p.m. match kicks off at George Mason Stadium in Fairfax, Va.

Teams: Drexel (6-4-5, 4-1-3 CAA) at George Mason (7-6-2, 3-4-1 CAA)

Venue: George Mason Stadium Fairfax, Va.

All-Time Series: George Mason holds a slight 3-4 edge in the all-time series. The teams have also played to one tie in their eight meetings.

Last Meeting: Senior defender Mark Stevenson picked up his first career goal, just 10 minutes into the match, off a corner kick by Anthony Bafile as Drexel went on to win 1-0 at home against George Mason on Oct. 14, 2007. The win gave Drexel four conference victories, which was the most for the Dragons since joining the CAA.

Entering the Match: Drexel fended off 26 shots by James Madison on the road Wednesday to preserve a 2-2 draw with the Dukes. The Dragons have not lost in their last seven matches. Max Crockett scored with less than three minutes remaining in the contest to even the score at 2-2 and send the Dragons into their eighth overtime match of the season. Cory Robertson made a season-high 11 saves in the game for Drexel.

Kwame Adjeman-Pamboe scored twice in a span of five minutes and five seconds in the first half to give George Mason a 2-0 win over Georgia State on Wednesday. Keeper Sean Kelley returned to the net for the Patriots after sitting out the team’s two previous contests. He made four saves for his fifth shutout of the season.

Players to Watch: Carlos Ruthner turned in a solid week for on the pitch for Drexel last week. His goal and assist helped Drexel hold off Northeastern at home on Oct. 22. Ruthner was named the Philadelphia Soccer Seven’s Player of the Week this week. Sophomore Max Crockett is another Dragon who has been giving Head Coach Lew Meehl quality minutes. Crockett, who at 6-foot-1 is a big target at striker, scored goals in two of the Dragons’ last four matches –both ties.

George Mason is led in scoring by a trio of players: Lucas Pardew, Kwame Adgeman-Pamboe and Parker Walton, who all have three goals apiece. Backing the Patriots is keeper Sean Kelley, who has been one of the top keepers in the league in each of the last two seasons. Kelley was named CAA Rookie of the Year in 2006 and earned Preseason All-CAA honors in 2007. He came back last week after missing two matches and posted a four-save shutout against Georgia State.

Up Next: Drexel closes out its home season with a 7:00 p.m. match against Old Dominion on Saturday, Nov, 1. The Dragons will honor nine seniors prior to the match as part of Senior Day ceremonies.
