NEW HAVEN, Conn. (August 31, 2026) - Georgian Court Men's Soccer began their 2026 campaign last weekend with a pair of game's in Massachusetts. The Lions earned a pair of draws playing against No. 19 Bentley and Saint Michael's. Georgian Court's defense stood out over the weekend with Tim Wilk leading the way and named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Defender of the Week.
