Both men’s and women’s soccer teams held pre-season training camps and competition this weekend – Aug 31 – Sept 4.   The women held a modified round robin event on Sunday with DAL AC, UKC and CU participating.  Results were:

DAL AC 1 – UKC  0; CU 1 - UKC  1; DAL AC 4  CU 2   Sian Rankin scored all 4 goals. 

The men played UKC  on Monday .  The score was 3-0 for UKC.  Both teams showed great promise for the season!

As part of the pre-season responsibilities for the soccer teams, members of the men’s and women’s soccer teams delivered  Campus Calendars to sections of the Bible Hill community Monday evening.  This is the second year for this collaboration with DAL AC Communication and Marketing staff.
