Men’s Soccer Team Reaches 3rd Round In 2006 College Cup

The men’s soccer team advanced to its fifth straight NCAA tournament in 2006, and made it deeper into the College Cup event than any previous Monarch squad.

ODU posted victories over Winthrop (4-3) and 10th-seeded North Carolina (1-0) to enter the round of 16, where the Monarchs lost 2-1 to UC-Santa Barbara. ODU finished the season 14-6-2.

Senior forward Edson Elcock (Brooklyn, N.Y.) was selected in the third round (29th overall pick) by the Kansas City Wizards in the Major League Soccer super draft. He led ODU and the CAA with 11 goals and six assists for 28 total points. He was named a first-team All-American by NSCAA/adidas coaches.
