A win Friday at E.S. Rose Park would clinch a top-four MVC tournament seed and a home match, the school says.
NASHVILLE - Belmont men's soccer hosts Western Michigan at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, at E.S. Rose Park in the Bruins' final regular-season home match, according to a Belmont Athletics release.
