The Tusculum College men's soccer team returns to action this weekend as the Pioneers host the Stanno Tournament Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.

Action gets underway Friday as Carson-Newman squares off with Shorter at 5 p.m. on the upper field followed by the Pioneers against Lees-McRae at 7 p.m. on Pioneer Field. The tournament concludes Sunday as Tusculum plays Shorter at 1 p.m. on Pioneer Field, while Carson-Newman takes on Lees-McRae on the upper field at 3 p.m. The upper field is located adjacent to the football practice fields and parking can be accessed via the Shiloh Rd. entrance to the Indoor Practice Facility.

On Saturday, the Pioneer men's soccer team will hold an open clinic for boys and girls ages 4 to 14 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Indoor Practice Facility. The free clinic will be taught by the Tusculum men's soccer players and coaching staff.

The Pioneers opened their season last Thursday with a 2-0 win at Limestone, then fell 2-0 to 12th-ranked Barry in their home opener Saturday night. Lees-McRae is also 1-1, having lost 1-0 in overtime to Lynn before posting a 1-0 win at Catawba on Sunday.

Carson-Newman carries an 0-2 record into the weekend's action, with losses to Tampa (2-1) and Nova Southeastern (1-0) during the Eagles' season-opening trip to Florida. Shorter is the lone unbeaten team in the field, owning a 1-1 tie against Reinhardt and a 2-1 victory against Southern Poly on its resume.

Admission to the tournament, and to all Tusculum men's soccer home matches, is free of charge. Live stats for all four matches will be available via links posted at tusculumpioneers.com.
