After their first three conference games the Lyndon State mens soccer team is currently ranked 7th in the NAC. Now with ten days left until their next game Head coach Pete Kellyaway told the men its time to regroup and repair their season.

"It's now time for us to do some soul searching," Kellaway said. "you need to ask yourself if you wanna win in this conference or throw in the towel. We have the talent to win we need to decide weather we control what happens to us or if were gonna let someone do that for us"

The Hornets lost two key midfielders and senior team leaders Matt Scagnelli and Chris Cowan due to injury. Injuries have taken a big toll on the team over all many of the teams underclassmen have seen more playing time as a result to the injury.

"We need our younger guys to step up," Back P.J. Danforth said. "our upperclassmen are coming down with injuries . I feel like they've done a good job especially since most of them have never played at the college level."

Danforth went on to say that though the injuries are a big loss for the team, the biggest loss has been the lack of communication mental breakdowns between the players on the field.

"It only happens with little things," Danforth said. "like on defense we lse or marks it happened a couple of times today but every one of those times it dose happen gives them a chance to score."

Though the team has gone through both mental and physical pains the team is still optimistic about the season. Goalie Jeff Giroux said not to count Hornets out just yet.

"This is my senior season and our season on line," Giroux said. "We can be on of if not the best team in the NAC but we've lost control of that these last few games. But if we can just find some way to get back to our game we can have a winning season."
