[edit] 2007-2008 Providence Freemen Athletics Wrap-Up

While the Providence Varsity teams are not as strong as they used to be they still still managed to capture some strong moments this year. The Men's soccer team had a very strong season competing in CPAC and the NCCAA. The Varsity Men's Soccer team won the CPAC championship once again over the CMU Blazers 2-0. They carried that momentum into NCCAA Regionals and captured a Regional Championship with a 1-0 win over archrivals Crown College in the Finals. Coming into Nationals in Kissimmee, Florida as the #7 seeded team, the Freemen were outshot, yet only lost their first contest in overtime and then won their second contest in penalty kicks. They ended up finishing 6th in the Nation. The Women's Soccer team had their best year yet, capturing their second straight CPAC Championship defeating archrivals CMU 2-1 in overtime in the Finals. They carried that momentum into NCCAA Regionals where they were defeated by Crown College 1-0, yet were able to grab the wildcard seed into Nationals. At Nationals, the women's soccer team was able to pull off a win in their first contest in penalty kicks. After a loss to Philadelphia in their second contest, the Freelady's won the '3rd place game' in dramatic fashion, winning 1-0 in overtime against Manhattan.

The Men's hockey team returned to its former glory as they finished the season with a mediocre 2-4-2 record, finishing in the basement of the three-team CPAC men's hockey league. However, coming into the CPAC Final Four tournament in Landmark, the Freemen were able to upset the defending CPAC champion ACC Cougars in the semi-finals by a score of 2-1. Providence played their archrivals from CMU in the finals only to be defeated by a score of 4-3.
