Coker Cobras
The Coker College men's soccer team closes out the regular season at home on Saturday (Oct. 27), when Tusculum travels to Hartsville for a South Atlantic Conference contest.
The Cobras currently occupy the eighth and final spot in the South Atlantic Conference Championship, but both Mars Hill and Newberry are two points back with one game remaining. The Cobras control their own destiny and can guarantee their spot with either a win or a draw with Tusculum.
Last match ended in heartbreak as it looked as if the men would capture at least a point at home against Anderson on Wednesday (Oct. 24), but were defeated 2-1 in overtime. The Cobras held a one goal advantage heading into the half, but surrendered a goal in the 55th minute and another in the ninth minute of overtime. Robbie Jenkinson bagged his first goal of the season in the defeat.
Tickets for the match are $5 for adults, $3 for students, and free to all Coker faculty, staff, and students.
Player to Watch

On the season, Castrillo has netted two goals and provided three assists for seven points. Castrillo erupted for one goal and three assists in a victory over
