EKL Standings



We nabbed not only a win, missing four starters, but we also played a match showing respect for the officials, the program and our opponents. 

Liam Ryan scored the second fastest goal in Saint Thomas Aquinas' long soccer history as Bissen to LeBourveau to Ryan got us to goal in 12 seconds, 12. 

We continued to build our lead during the first half to 3-0, on two great assists from Omar Sarmiento, the Man of the Match. Omar followed up his own left-sided corner with a ball back into the box for a Siebert goal. 

Just before half, we were countered on our own throw-in, something we would see repeated in the second half to tighten the match to a one-goal match.

Since we were coming off plenty of practice from last night at burning time off the clock, we did hold court for the rest of the half.

Good performance.

Back at The Rock after they go back-to-back

Game 2: 31 August, 2023 (at Rockhurst) EKL Standings 2023 STATS We knew this would be a tall task with Rockhurst  virtually  bringing their whole team back from their back-to-back state title wins.  We were hoping our what-was-thought-to-be the strength of our team, our defense, would look far better than it did in the first match against St. James. With our strarting goalie out from an injury in the St. James game, freshman keeper, Parker Lehn, was set for an early varsity debut against one of our, if not the, best opponents on our schedule.  We played very, very well tonight, falling 2-1 with the clock at 1:11. I was so proud of our play, especially our defense throughout the match. We played a 3/4's press and the boys stayed very disciplined, eliminating most of the passing lanes, stepping up to win ball after ball.  Weinrich and Welsh at centerback could not have played better—they were so good. And both Parker and Maverick played pretty darn well for s...
