SOU Kicks off the 08 Season
SOU entered the 2008 season with a pre-season national ranking of #18. We headed on the road to Portland to play Lewis and Clark on Saturday 2/2. The game started on 1-2 inches of snow, slush, and freezing rain on top of a turf field. We played some of the best team offense that SOU has ever played in our short history being led by Captains #6 Bubba Van Egdom and #20 Alex White. Bubba scored 6 goals while Alex put in 3 goals and dished out 3 assists. Our freshman midfield line proved they can contribute by adding 6 goals and 4 assists. Our defense held L&C to 4 goals with the final score being 15-4. On Sunday we headed up to Tacoma, WA to take on the University of Puget Sound. UPS proved to be extremely well coached and tough on the defensive end. We never found an offensive rythym due in a large part to the 20 penalities that we were flagged for. We were man-down for over an entire quarter of the game. Our goalie #7 Carter Boggess kept us in the game. We led at the half 2-0 but the penalities killed us in the second half which led to a very difficult loss by the final of 5-3. Our young team will only learn and improve from this game. We look to rebound this weekend at home vs. Portland State on Saturday 2/9 at 1pm. We are home for our next 4 games and 6 of our next 7 games.
