CUNYAC / BRINE notes
CARDINALS CLINCH CUNY CROWN
The York College Cardinals have clinched the regular season title with a 2-0 victory over Medgar Evers College on Saturday. The game was a rematch of last season's championship game (3-2 OT) which propelled York to the NCAA Tournament. Marc Meo opened the scoring in the first half, with defender Roger Wilson adding an insurance tally in the 2nd half. The Cardinals, under rookie coach Linval Cunningham, have thus clinched their 2nd ever regular season title and the first since 1990, under Tim Bradbury (10-3-1).

The Statesmen salvaged a tie with Hunter thanks to Pedro Zevallos who scored both Baruch goals, pouncing on a rebound to knot the score at 2-2 in the 76th minute. Christopher Radjpaul netted two penalty kicks against CCNY but it wasn't nearly enough in the 8-3 loss.
