Coming Home

This past weekend the team traveled to Geneva College, which is located about 45 minutes north of Pittsburgh, to play against another christian college whose soccer program is on the rise.
Our coach had been preaching to us the whole week that they were going to be a tough game. That this team was going to show us emotion and passion, and that Pittsburgh teams, have a blue collar, hard noise type of mentality that we "sometimes lack."

The game lasted around six minutes before the first goal was in the back of the net. And it was around 45 minutes before there were already six goals for Messiah on the scoreboard.

Going into the second half with a score at 6-0, we as a team struggled a little because we didn't want to take our foot off the peddle as we still desired three more goals. More importantly we as a team focused on maintaining the shut out, with our freshman goalie taking over in the second half.

The game ended 8-0 with two goals in the second half from our second team, but more importantly we kept the shut out, and kept building up momentum for this season.

As the game ended the two teams came together, and prayed as one. Not as two teams, but rather as one group of people who all have the same interest, the interest in pleasing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
