SoCon Schedule- Week Five

Thursday

Chattanooga at Davidson, 7:00
The Mocs and Wildcats square off as the teams with the two best records in the SoCon. This game is the only meeting between the two this regular season.

Western Carolina at Elon, 7:00
The Catamounts and Phoenix are supposed to be the next two best teams in the SoCon. Western Carolina beat Elon once already. Elon is in a fight for their lives in the bye race.

Samford at Furman, 7:00
Can the Bulldogs keep their modest winning streak going? They are in a fight to stay in the bye race and this game is critical. The Paladins just need to show up again.

The Citadel at Georgia Southern, 7:00
The Bulldogs have not been playing well. Then again, neither have the Eagles. If Georgia Southern thinks they can keep up in the bye race, this a game they must have.

Appalachian State at UNCG, 7:00
The Mountaineers have inched their way into the bye race. The Spartans seem to be playing their way out of it. This is a must win for the Spartans, and not unimportant to the Mountaineers.

Saturday

Elon at Appalachian State, 2:00
Can the Mountaineers stay hot? They've been playing well in their last couple of games. A win here would put them in much better position and really hurt the Phoenix.

The Citadel at Davidson, 4:00
It's hard to find anything nice to say here. Davidson will need to be focused on this one regardless of the outcome of the game Thursday. The Bulldogs have had a couple of decent performances. But not lately.

Georgia Southern at UNCG, 5:00
If the Spartans can win both home games, then they will prove that they will be in the bye race all the way until the end. An upset home loss could doom them. The Eagles have got to get rolling again themselves. How will the Eagles handle Locke and Cain?

Furman at Chattanooga, 7:00
The Mocs started their SoCon season with a win over the Paladins on the road. Now they get them at home. Can the Mocs win another one? Furman was close in the first one. Can they steal one on the road? If the Mocs are not focused after their game against Davidson, who knows?

Samford at Wofford, 7:00
The Bulldogs and Terriers match-up in what is probably the best game of the day. The Terriers played well last week to take some control, but the Bulldogs got back in the race with a good week at home too. This is a chance for both teams to make statements about their standing. Tim Williams? Karl Cochran? Yes, please.
