LANCASTER, Pa. – The Swarthmore College men's soccer team will continue its season when it competes in the 2013 Centennial Conference Tournament this weekend at Haverford College's historic Walton Field. Live statistics and video will be available for fans who can't make it to Haverford.

The Garnet locked up the second seed after suffering a pair of 2-1 losses to close out the regular season and will face third-seeded Franklin & Marshall on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 11 a.m. in the first semifinal match. Haverford, which won a head-to-head tiebreaker over Swarthmore to claim the top seed, will face fourth-seeded Dickinson, which advanced with a 2-1 win over Johns Hopkins on Wednesday night, in the second semifinal at 1:30 p.m. The winners of Saturday's semifinal contests will play in the championship with an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m.

Swarthmore will make its eighth Centennial Conference playoff appearance with a 9-4-4 ledger overall, including a 5-2-2 mark in league play, and have the opportunity to avenge a tough 2-1 loss to Franklin & Marshall from this past Saturday.
