Hatters Enter Regional Poll; Visit UCF on Wednesday






Stetson men's soccer takes a break from conference play on Wednesday to visit a former league rival when the Hatters face UCF, 7 p.m., in Orlando.

As they enter Wednesday's game the Hatters will do so as one of the top teams in the Southeast Region.

Stetson makes its first appearance of the season in the weekly United Soccer Coaches regional poll, checking in at No. 8. FIU is this week's No. 1 team in the region, while fellow ASUN Conference foe NJIT is ranked fifth. Stetson and the Highlanders meet on Sunday at 1 p.m. in DeLand.

Stetson (5-4-0 overall), winners of four straight games, is off to its best 9-game start since the 2009 squad opened the season with a 7-1-1 mark on its way to the ASUN Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Hatters are currently 3-0-0 in conference play and sit atop the league standings at the halfway point.
 
The Hatters are doing it with a mix of stout defense and timely offense. Since a 5-0 loss to Western Michigan in the second game of the year, Stetson has allowed just five goals. Offensively, seven different players have scored goals this season. Freshman Deniz Dogan leads the team with four.
 
UCF (1-5-1) is coached by former Hatter assistant coach Scott Calabrese, who is in his first season. The Knights have scored just seven goals all season. UCF hasn't won since defeating Jacksonville, 4-0, on Sept. 4.
 
Wednesday's game will be live streamed on UCFKnights.TV, and live stats will also be available.
