2007-2008 marked our first full year as a competitive club. We joined the Mid-America Collegiate Soccer League, which was composed of:
Kansas
Kansas St
Mizzou
SLU
Southeast MO St.
Southwest Baptist
St. Charles CC
Truman
Washington Univ. (St. Louis)
Wichita St
League play featured 8 games, 2 each against the other 4 members of our division: SLU, SEMO, St. Charles CC and Wash U. Truman went undefeated and untied against their division rivals and finished our first league season at 8-0. We finished the season ranked 4th in the region (of teams from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas) and were invited to the Region IV Tournament in Columbia, MO.
After a forfeit victory over Oklahoma St. and a victory over Central Oklahoma, Truman lost its first game of the season, falling 3-0 to eventual regional champs Kansas State. Having finished 2nd in pool play, however, Truman qualified for the semifinals against perennial power Mizzou. After giving up an early goal, Truman equalized, and then appeared to take a 2-1 lead. The goal was called back, however, and Mizzou weathered the Truman storm. Mizzou added 2 goals after half time to win the semi-final game 3-1.
Truman finished the Fall 2007 season with a 10-2 record, giving us a 13-3 record since our inception.

Nice picture. Chris looks so innocent...
Teshome's goal should've counted. That was bush league.
