The 810 Classic

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




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

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
