The ChE GSA intramural co-rec soccer team will play a playoff game tonight at 9:30pm. The game will be held at the Park Avenue Intramural Fields.
If you have not played in a game this season, you unfortunately cannot play on the team during their playoff run.
The team went 1-1-1 during the regular season, good enough to finish in the top two in their division to qualify for the playoffs. A 3-0 win on September 28 advanced them to play tonight.
Come out and support the team!
