The 810 Classic

Game 9: (4-4-1)
28 September vs. Columbia Rock Bridge (2-3 in 2 OT's)


EKL Standings



We were coming off two double overtime matches this week to play the 5th-ranked team in Missouri, Columbia Rock Bridge (8-1). We also had a bit of wind, with winds somewhere between 17 and 24 mph.

We played pretty darn well, though. Once again, we went into double overtime, however; this time we lost on just a great free kick with a little over four minutes left in the final OT.

We still need to regain our defensive swagger; we are giving up too many goals per match right now.  We won't beat many good teams, giving up three goals in a match.

Liam Lynch, however, gave us a very good match, playing right back for a lot of the game. And that's the position where we are replacing one of our best players, Bobby Bjorseth. 

Centerback, Miles Laws, earned Man of the Match honors, scoring our first goal, playing just a tremendous match, and flicking opportunity after opportunity on throw-ins and corners.

We, also, were very pleased with our extended varsity guys, who are now getting a lot of varsity time. Alex Fuentes, Grady Richlin, and Michael Doerfler all played a lot and played well today.

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
