Opening of 2ND Season
We took on two top notch teams for our opening games and held our own taking Sullivan into two 10 minute overtimes. With new field and outstanding play in the first two games I expect an excellent season. |
Opening of 1ST season“As a first year program we are considered a JV team, however several of the teams we will face do not have enough players for a JV team so we be playing their varsity squads. Also we are joining a strong, well developed soccer conference which will add to the challenge.”

9-8Tiger soccer lost to Sullivan 3-2 again Monday. The close game did not make it to overtime as did the previous matchup between the teams but it was close. Drew Lahman scored first for the Tigers followed by Freshman Mike Crocker. Bren Bartz assisted on both goals. The Tigers had a slow start trailing at the half 2-0 and then fired up in the second half to tie until the last few minutes of the game when the Eagles scored. Coach Davis

Summer prep for season
It is really important to get in condition before the season starts. Work on your core strength and get some running in. The average soccer player runs 5 miles in an average game.
