2010 Alumni Game

I would like to thank everyone that made it up for the Alumni game this past weekend.  It was a beautiful weekend of soccer and getting together with some old friends and new.  It was really good to have some of the "old guard" out there representing and showing the passion that they still have for the game.

The game came down to the wire as the Alumni snatched victory away from the varsity team when Adam Gracia found the back of the net with about one minute left on the clock and secured the 1-1 draw for the Alumni.  Brandon Rethemeyer was strong in goal and kept the shut out for about 80 minutes until Matt Parsons broke through the mid-field and sent freshman Chris Jones in on a 1v1 for the first goal of the game.

I would really like to thank some of the older guys like Benny Ilkanhoff, Noel Cyrus, Pete Tytus, Phil Sporer, Jim Eppard, JT and Mark Urban for making up it and participating in the game.  I know not everyone can stick around afterwards and get together, but it was great to hang out with JT and Mark and listen to them share some of their stories with the younger guys.

There was a strong number of recent alumni present and I would just like to say thanks for your continuous support of the program and let you all know that I really enjoy getting together with everyone afterwards and catching up on how everyone is doing.  I just hope that you guys will continue to make it back 10 years from now and share your stories with the current players and recent alumni.
