Boys Soccer Rolls Through Conference

By Thayeng Lee

The Newman Catholic boys soccer team played the Pacelli Cardinals on Monday, September 26 and emerged victorious with a 2-0 win. This victory means they remain undefeated in conference. On Tuesday, September 27 the soccer team played against Gresham and won 4-0. With this victory, Newman leaves the number two team in the conference two games behind. Thursday, September 29 the boy’s soccer team played against Wisconsin Valley Lutheran at Tower Field at 5 p.m. and won 8-1.

           

Will Luetmer is one of the boy’s soccer captains and he says that the soccer team is doing well, and a lot of the younger classmen are stepping up to fill in for the seniors that they lost. Luetmer also said that Pacelli is probably the hardest team to beat in their conference because they are very physical and they have a good coach. Also, he believes that the boys soccer team has a good chance of going to state this year, but there are some things that the soccer team needs to improve on such as communication and finishing.

           

Their next game is on Monday, October 3 at Northland Lutheran at 4:30 p.m. On Thursday of next week they will have a tough match against McDonnell-Regis. If they win against those two teams, they will finish undefeated in conference for the third year in a row. The Newman Catholic boys soccer team will be expecting the number one seed, which means they will play their regional playoff games at home.
