Drexel freshman guard Chris Fouch will miss the entire 2008-09 season after sustaining an injury to his left knee last week, and will undergo surgery in the near future. He will still have four seasons of eligibility left. Fouch averaged 15 points per game last year as a senior at Brother Rice High School in New York City.
Anthony Bafile, Leland Raum and Mike Crosse each netted goals for the men's soccer team, but the Dragons were unable to maintain leads on three different occasions and ultimately had to settle for a 3-3 draw against rival Delaware Oct. 8 at Vidas Field. The Dragons are now 1-4-3 in their last eight games after starting off the 2008-09 season with a pair of victories.
