SOCCER

The Chapman men’s soccer team will open the NCAA Division III playoffs Wednesday at Claremont. The Panthers have advanced to the postseason three consecutive seasons and four of the last five.

Chapman (15-3-1), which defeated Claremont, 2-1, on Oct. 19, has won 11 consecutive games, tying the school record set in 1995. The winner of Wednesday’s first-round game, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will play top-seeded Puget Sound in San Diego Saturday.
