The Trent Excalibur men’s soccer team is back in the Ontario University Athletics playoffs for the first time in 14 years after completing a record-breaking regular season.
The Excalibur finished 6-5-1 for 19 points, setting new program highs for both wins and points in a season. The team broke the previous record of five wins and 17 points set in 2010-11 with a 3-2 victory over Nipissing on Saturday in North Bay.
Trent ended the season in a three-way tie for fourth in the OUA East Division but fell to sixth place after tiebreakers were applied. They will travel to Ottawa to face the Carleton Ravens, who finished third in the division with a 6-1-5 record and are ranked eighth nationally.
The two teams met once this season on September 26 at Carleton, in a thrilling 3-3 draw. Wednesday’s playoff matchup kicks off at 8:15 p.m. and will be livestreamed on OUA.tv.
