CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston plays host to Northeastern on Saturday at noon in a game that has major CAA postseason implications.  

 

The Cougars enter the game with a 2-2-2 record in the CAA and are in sixth place with eight points, one ahead of the Huskies (2-3-1). Hofstra and Elon are tied for first (13), followed by UNCW (11), Drexel (10) and William & Mary (9). 

 

There are three games left in the regular season for all nine teams. The top six advance to the tournament, which begins November 3 on campus sites.
