The American University men's soccer squad is set to return to the pitch on Tuesday, September 1, when it welcomes Delaware to Reeves Field in Washington, D.C., for a 4 p.m. kickoff.
Early-Season Struggles
The Eagles have opened the season with three straight defeats, blanking their opponents in each outing and failing to find the back of the net.
Defensively, junior goalkeeper Evan Tubbs has been a bright spot, posting a career‑high eight saves against Virginia and totaling 14 stops across the first three games.
Captaincy and Creative Spark
Midfielder Chris Sullivan, the team’s newly appointed captain, has been the most active attacker, logging 219 minutes and forcing four shots on goal despite the scoreless stretch.
Coach’s call for increased creativity comes as the staff evaluates options to break down defenses that have limited the Eagles to just 15 shots while conceding 40.
Delaware arrives as a non‑conference opponent, but the match offers a chance for the Eagles to reset momentum and showcase the resilience they have displayed in the early going.
