Players to watch 

Upstate: Senior Midfielder, Jorhan Chopin continues to be an X-factor for the Spartans with his leadership and experience helping guide the Spartans through the season. As he takes the field for his final regular season match at the County University Soccer Stadium, Chopin looks to help his squad take the pitch for an important match against Longwood where he adds the most minutes accumulated for a field player followed by two assists. 

Longwood: Sophomore Forward, Brando Bedolla leads the Lancers with five goals, three assists, 13 points, 30 shots, and a .400 shot on goal percentage. Bedolla has displayed a brace performance in conference play against Winthrop where he added a season-high of 10 shots. The Spartans will look to halt Bedolla's offensive aggressiveness and slow down the momentum. 

Next up for the Spartans 

Following the final regular season home match, Upstate Men's Soccer travels to Radford for their final regular season road match for an afternoon matchup beginning at 3:00 P.M. which also features heavy implications for the Big South Men's Soccer Conference Championships.
