Forecast calls for a high chance of ‘Stormers’

Summer is ending, the fall weather is creeping in, and school has officially kicked off. All these signs also let one know something even more exciting has arrived: the start of the MATC Stormers men’s soccer season. Stormers’ soccer started their season off with a conference win against Madison College in overtime with a score of 2-1. 

After the road win, they then came back to Milwaukee for two consecutive home conference games at their beautiful home field at the Oak Creek Campus. First they went to battle with Joliet Junior College on September 5 and unfortunately, lost 5-3. 

The second of those two consecutive home games was played on September 17 against Harper College,which also resulted in a loss, 3-1. The assistant coach for the men’s team, Nick Perera, said, “They played hard and showed heart. Although two of the games didn’t result in wins, we learned some valuable lessons for growth as a team.” 

The lessons  he speaks of should come in handy in games to come since this year’s team has only a couple returning players and the majority of their roster are freshman players. Despite that fact, they seem to be a solid team with a desire to win and a lot of heart. 

 The rest of the season should be quite exciting to watch. The next three games they play are as follows:  September 17 at 4:00 p.m. at University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley; September 19 at 4:00 p.m. at home against Triton (conference); September 21 at home against Madison College (conference). 

The games are free and open to the public, so come on out, show your school spirit and support your Stormers on their journey through the rest of the 2012 men’s soccer season.
