By Ian Quillen · Monday, Oct. 18, 2004

While the field hockey and Women's soccer teams have dazzled AU fans with their superb seasons, the Men's Soccer team has quietly been building momentum and a Patriot League lead.

By Phil Turner · Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004

By the time you wake up, they have practiced for close to three hours, spent time in the training room and probably already made it in and out of TDR. They are AU's seventh-ranked Field Hockey team.

The No. 7 AU Field Hockey team dominated its opponents in terms of shots and offensive pressure this weekend. But while the Eagles outplayed both Davidson and Lehigh, the 5-0 and 3-1 wins showed signs of a team that is heading toward greatness, but hasn't yet arrived.

David Marut probably didn't think he'd have to wait until mid-October to score his first two goals of the season. But after Saturday's performance, the senior forward probably won't complain. Marut's first two goals couldn't have come at a better time, sparking the AU Men's Soccer team's 5-1 rout of Patriot League rival Holy Cross, who, until Saturday, had never lost to AU. The Crusaders now lead the series, 3-1-1.
