Soccer Debut Review

The soccer teams got their pre-season kicked off in fine fashion on Sunday afternoon. Though scores could not be publicized, it's safe to say both SSU teams looked very good in their debuts.

The women's squad got contributions from several impressive freshmen, including Taylor Colacion and Taylor Edmonds, against Santa Rosa JC. Tracy Webster also netted a couple of goals. The future definitely looks bright for the Seawolves.

On the men's side, it was Ross Middlemiss leading the way, finishing the game with a penalty kick goal and a pair of assists. The Seawolves have a phenomenal veteran core that has been playing together for quite a while now. In fact, all 11 starters on the Seawolves were on the team last year and 10 of the 11 have been on the team for at least two seasons. I can't think of another SSU team in recent history that can claim something like that.

It was great to see a bunch of former SSU players (Eric Larson, David Seidel, Tim Maycock, Brandon Boone, Chris Daly, and Jaime Rivera) suit up for the Sonoma County Sol on Sunday. Despite starting the game with just 11 players (three more joined the bench after the match had started), the Sol played very well.
