Former CCSU men’s soccer players Paul Armstrong and Eddie Floyd have joined the CCSU Football team, and may play Saturday at St. Francis (Pa.).
According to CCSU Sports Information Director Tom Pincince, the former soccer players are on the squad, and are eligible to play football, even though their soccer eligibility is finished.
“They would be active for the remainder of the season,” Pincince said.
Armstrong, the men’s soccer team’s former goalkeeper, and Floyd, a former defender/midfielder, will add depth to a shaky kicking game for the Blue Devils.
Kicker Joe Izzo is 4-for-5 on kicks this season, but his longest is only a 28-yard field goal. Izzo is also 31-35 on extra points this season.
CCSU can clinch the NEC title outright this Saturday against St. Francis in Loreto, Pa. at noon. A win will put them into the Gridiron Classic against the Pioneer League champion.
