Dear Saint John’s Soccer Alumni,
I’m delighted to share some good news with all of you. This past weekend, our team put together a fantastic performance and earned a 3-0 victory over St. Norbert’s College. After a tough start to the season with two narrow 1-0 losses, where we showed promise but couldn’t quite get the results we were aiming for, it was great to see the progress and hard work of the team come to fruition in this latest match.
The first two games were challenging, and while we played solid soccer, we didn’t manage to convert our performances into wins. However, I could see that the team was steadily improving, working hard in training, and starting to gel as a unit. That improvement was on full display against St. Norbert’s, where we were able to capitalize on our chances, maintain a strong defensive presence, and control the game.
I’m incredibly proud of the players and the commitment they’ve shown. We’re getting stronger with every match, and that growth gives us great confidence heading into this week’s game against the University of Minnesota Morris. After that, we’re excited to dive into MIAC play, with our first conference match against Macalester on Tuesday, September 17th. We know the MIAC is always a tough and competitive league, but I’m confident in the team’s ability to rise to the challenge.
I want to thank all of you for your unwavering support of Saint John’s soccer. The rich tradition of this program is built on the foundation laid by those who came before, and your continued belief in what we are trying to accomplish here means so much to the players and staff alike. We’re committed to making you proud and will continue working hard to represent the program with pride and passion.
Thank you again for being part of this journey with us, and we look forward to sharing more success as the season progresses.
Go Johnnies!
