This Saturday, I went to the Fontbonne Men’s and Women’s soccer games at Gay Field. The women played a spectacular game and won 11-2 against Eureka College. As a result, the women kept their fourth place status in the SLIAC and advanced to the postseason tournament. The men also played brilliantly against Eureka, posting a 4-0 shutout. Zach was solid in goal recording yet another shutout. It should be interesting to see how the two teams compete in the postseason. I am hoping that the teams can pick up some solid momenturm entering November. The men missed qualifying for the national tournament last season and I am hoping that they will qualify this year. Games will be played next week at Webster. It is my hope that we will draw large crowds from Fontbonne to support both teams. Watching the soccer games is so exciting and fun for all of us at Fontbonne. Sports events offer us wonderful opportunities to show our school spirit and support.
