⚽ Stat of the day: The University of Vermont Catamounts (a medium-or-large-sized cat) aren’t exactly known for their athletic prowess. In fact, the school’s bookstore sells a tongue-in-cheek football t-shirt that reads: “UNDEFEATED SINCE 1974” (the school disbanded its team that year).

But every once in a while, the world shifts, and cats turn into dawgs. Such is the case for the Catamounts’ men’s soccer team, which, after pulling off a series of upsets, will face off against Marshall tonight with the 2024 NCAA DI national championship on the line. It’s the first time in UVM history that the school (founded in 1791) will appear in a national championship game of any kind.

The match starts at 8 pm ET and will be televised on ESPNU.
