BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Labor Day weekend means soccer at Eastern Florida State College and lots of it as eight games will be played at Titan Soccer Complex.

And if Thursday night was any indication, it will be an exciting weekend as Polk State scored four unanswered goals in the second half to take a 4-3 lead but Southwestern Illinois tied it up with 20 minutes remaining to send the game to overtime.

Neither team would score in the two overtimes and it ended in a 4-4 tie.

There will be three games on Friday as the Eastern Florida State College men’s soccer team will get the day started when they open the home portion of their season at 4 p.m. against Laramie County Community College.  CLICK HERE to watch the game live.
