The USP Club Soccer team started its career with a challenging first season. However, even in the face of adverse obstacles and a rough losing streak the players, coaches, and supporters are extremely eager to start the Fall 2010 season.

 

Without a legitimate field and regulation sized goals practices were limited to the recreational gym within the ARC and the confined space of the quad. In addition, the rigorous academic lives of the players sometimes made attending games that were hours away simply impossible. Nevertheless, through shear talent and vigor the team was able to create a strong competition on the field. All of the games were fought hard and many players, myself included, felt that most of the games should have been won.

 

Even though the team did not get the best results the season was a huge success. This was the first year of club sports at the University of the Sciences and we hope this is the first of many strides toward a greater athletic and academic University.

   

Finally, I would like to make a few special thanks. I would like to thank Michael D’uva for taking the initiative to bring this team from the ground up. I would also like to thank Marc Caserio, Jesse Phillips, and the Department of Campus Recreation for allowing us to use their gyms to practice and the ARC as a team management and coaching headquarters. Finally, I would like to thank William Cunningham and Walt Perry, the Dean and Associate Dean of Students, as well as the Student Government Association, Student Recreational Committee, and the fans for their support and for making this all possible.

A Game of Missed Opportunities – USci falls to St. Joe’s 1-0

You couldn’t ask for a better day to play soccer!  The sun was bright and there was a slight breeze through the air.  However the outcome of the game wasn’t as nice as the weather.  Even though the University of the Sciences Soccer Club lost to St. Joe’s 1-0 they shouldn’t hang their heads in defeat.  Still lacking the chemistry needed to be a more efficient team they played with a lot of heart and refused to give up until the final blow of the whistle; they actually outplayed and dominated St. Joe’s for the majority of the game but failed to capitalize on scoring chances.  Unfortunately, St. Joe’s was able to and in the 75^th minute St. Joe’s scored the winning goal off of a deflection by one of our own players.
