Game 0.5: New Blue Gold Match
28 August vs. Top 22 (7 goals scored)




In our new approach to Blue-Gold, we play four 15-minute segments, with two featuring what looks like our Top 11, against our second 11.

That first segment went 0-0 with our starters earning a corner and several shots not on goal. But by the time we got around to the 4th segment, featuring the same match-up, our starters won 3-0.

7:00 Siebert (Befort pushes the ball upfield to Janeway who attacks the baseline, sliding a T-ball to Brody)

4: 00 Omar (Befort hits a through-ball to Siebert on his diagonal run which he gathers before driving a t-ball to the slot for the finish.)

0:10 Siebert (Befort goes over the top to Brody who touches it twice before finishing)

The middle two 15-minute segments offered up two balanced squads. The first of those segments finished deadlocked at one. In the second set, the varsity defense won 2-0. So probably a few too many goals were scored.

Segment 3

10:45 Omar (the foul in the back (handball) offers up a deadball from the top of the box where Omar just laced it to the back post)

6:00 Fuentes (Befort hits a beautiful through-ball that allows Alex to take the ball into the box to finish far post on the ground)

Segment 4

8:00 Omar (just a great build that hits Fuentes on a diagonal run that ends with Alex's T'ball to David's quick touch that continues the attack to the back post for the finish).

3:30 Ragan (Omar plays the nice corner in)

Coach Grow made a nice point after the match. The last time the team had touched the ball was 7:00 in the morning on Monday—60 hours ago. The starters and honestly everyone therefore improved as they played. 

The last couple of shifts showed much-improved play.

Bring on St. James.

In the middle 15-minute segments our JV took on our C-Team. In the first 15 minutes, the squads ended in a 0-0 tie.

In the second 15-minute segment, JV put 4 goals in.

Coleton Jacobsen, Goal 1  (Oddo's cross to Lopez who drops to Coleton).

But then freshman Dominic Giammanco put three crossed in to assist the final three goals.

Lopez, Goal 3 (Giammanco cross to Meyer's foot-flick for the finish back post)

Jacobsen, Goal 4 (Giammanco boxes it across once again for another foot-flick to Coleton for the finish)

Game 2: (0-2-0) 5 September vs. Rockhurst at home (0-1) 2024 Stats EKL Standings How enjoyable has our Rockhurst Rivalary been—just extraordinary. Yes, this match used to draw 5,000 fans, complete with football-team cookouts and coaches coming in from all over the country, but Coach Pribyl's TOP DAWG tourney is no more. Oh, and tonight, the Chiefs play on NBC to open the NFL season at 7:20. So, a bit less than 5,000. But Halo did broadcast the match, so some people around the country got to watch both. It was a match that almost did not start, with lightning in the area. But the skies parted, the rain and lighting left, and it was a great night for soccer. And really, we had quite a match with very few opportunities to score for either team. We both had a few. The match was nearly 60 minutes in and still scoreless when our left wing picked up his second yellow card. So from that point on, we had to play the Rock with only 10 guys. We thought our guys played so well and so hard thos

The Final Day of the Saints Classic

Game 5: (3-2-0) 14 September vs. Kapaun Mt. Carmel (2-2) at 3:00 (3-1) 2024 Stats EKL Standings Saints Alums with 2024 Varsity We came into the third and final day of the Saints Classic, playing well but exhausted. The match reinforced both items. Kapaun jumped on us early, even though Parker set up perfectly. We appear to block the shot away from him.  But before that, we lost Bobby Bjorseth, as his leg had started swelled up. He would not be able to play any more of the match. The good news was Kitts did make the match. We were able insert some fresh legs into the lineup to stay pretty solid in the back we thought. But his stamina would only allow him to play, but about, ten minutes at a time.  We actually had to call Oliver Sarmiento and Alex Fuentes, two of our extended guys, to have them suit up for the second half. We needed reinforcements. We did respond to the Crusaders' quick start. Janeway scored the tying goal and then assisted David Weinberg on the Game-Winning Goal (a
