Ones to Watch
Upstate: Making his third start of the season last Wednesday at College of Charleston, junior goalkeeper Luca Bulfon posted his first career shutout in a 0-0 draw. The Spartans' defensive unit kept Bulfon clean throughout the night as the Cougars got off just two shots with Bulfon saving the lone shot on goal.
 
Furman: Alfredo Diaz-Santillan was the latest Paladin to get in on the scoring for Furman this season, netting his first goal of the season against Winthrop last Monday. He joins Jake Raine—team-high 12 shots—and Dylan Lane as the Paladins' goal scorers this season.
