BLOGS BACK

After 4 days off with writers block I'm back to keep you up to date of the goings on of the Men's Soccer Program.  Saturdays game saw us going down 3-1 to Longwood despite taking the lead and being more productive in the final third we couldn't quite convert the chances we created and gave up two sloppy goals second half.

The only thing to keep me sane over the weekend after the loss was our alumni game and events on Saturday.  Once again it was great to see the many alumni who support the program and those who couldn't be there we hope to see you next year.  The Saturday evening event was another success and I hope we can continue this tradition and build on it each year.

Back to the team and after 2 days off we were back to practice on Tuesday.  At the start of practice it was well and truly bucketing it down and the only thing missing was the mud to accompany the heavy downpour.  We managed to get through the session without getting swept away and the players enjoyed the rain and slick surface to ping it around.

Today session went well and the focus now is starting Atlantic 10 conference play strong as we look to repeat as regular season champions.  Richmond will be our first opponent away from home at 7.30pm on Friday night so its not too far a trip providing DC traffic doesn't rear its ugly head.

Unfortunately Richmond recently announced they would be dropping their men's soccer program which was a huge shock and they we joined yesterday rumor that Towson Men's Soccer would be doing the same.  Such sad news for 2 programs with a strong history and both teams have been a regular fixture for us over the years.
