Men's Soccer preps for Final Four

Men's Soccer

As UMass coach Sam Koch prepares for the program's first-ever NCAA College Cup appearance, he recieved a special call earlier this week from a former UMass coach who took his team to the Final Four in 1996.

"[John] Calipari called me and told that's its just another game and that we should keep doing what we've been doing. That was refreshing, because that's what we've been trying to do," Koch said.

Though the experience of the former men's basketball coach would be an asset to any coach, Koch hopes to have more success in the Final Four than his counterpart. Calipari's squad was defeated by eventual national champion Kentucky in the semifinal game.
