The 2025 season got off to a mixed start for the Binghamton Bearcats and the Lafayette Leopards, each opening with a different outcome on Sunday.
Binghamton fell 3-0 at home to George Washington, while Lafayette settled for a 0-0 draw with Duquesne, leaving both teams with early lessons.
Road Warriors
Lafayette currently leads the all‑time series 7‑3‑0, but the Bearcats have shown they can compete, having edged the Leopards 2‑1 in September 2025 and posted a 1‑0 win in Easton the previous year.
That victory in Easton was Binghamton’s only road triumph in the recent stretch, and the team is aiming to build on it as they travel again.
The Bearcats have not tasted defeat on the road for two consecutive games since 2016, a streak that included ties with George Washington and Siena, and they hope to extend that run.
Upcoming matchups will test whether the Bearcats can keep the momentum alive when they meet Lafayette once more on the road, a venue that has historically been a stumbling block for Binghamton.
