Lewis Flyers Play at 1pm Today In D2 Final 4

Fort Lewis is the only former champion in the NCAA Division II men’s final four, which begins Friday in Tampa. LeMoyne and Lees-McRae have never advanced as far as the semifinals, while the Lewis Flyers, representing the Great Lakes Valley Conference, last appeared in a final four in 2000.

Thursday’s Semifinals
Fort Lewis (22-1-0) vs. LeMoyne (17-2-3) – 10:00 am
Lewis (16-3-2) vs. Lees-McRae (18-2-1) – 1:00 pm

Once again, Soccer America has a preview of the four teams available. Lewis is riding an 12-game unbeaten streak. Earlier this season, it had a 16-game unbeaten streak snapped with a 3-0 loss to Drury. Senior Nestor Hernandez has totaled a career-high 14 goals. Coincidentally, this streak began against Northern Kentucky on October 2, which was the first game that All-Great Lakes Valley Conference second-team midfielder Mardoche Beya (pictured) returned to the line-up after missing the first nine games due to injury. Plenty more details available at the Lewis website.
