Columbia Men's Soccer Wins First Ivy Game in Three Years, The End Times Are Here

Columbia Men's Soccer Wins First Ivy Game in Three Years, The End Times Are Here

Hell has officially frozen over – at least in New York City.

 

Since November 2005, the Columbia Lions soccer team has lost every single game they played in the Ivy League division.

 

Every. Single. Game.

 

But finally, the three-year slump has ended, and everyone can now begin ridiculing No. 19 University of Pennsylvania for losing 2-1 to one of the worst soccer teams in existence.

Good work, Penn!

 

The Columbia Spectator reports:

The Lions were outshot, 15-4, but a strong defensive effort and stellar goalkeeping by Aurrichio helped lead them to victory. Seven of Penn’s 15 shots were on goal, but Aurrichio saved six of them, bring his total to 55 saves this season, the most in the Ivy League.


The Lions return to play this Tuesday at 7 p.m. against Adelphi. Their next Ivy League face-off will take place this Saturday at 7 p.m. against Princeton.

Sadly, the likelihood of Columbia replicating this mini-miracle is slim at best, but at least, the men on the team can hold their heads up high until the start of the next three-year losing streak on Saturday.

 

As for Penn, there are no words. This single defeat should automatically bar them from ever playing the sport again.
