Fall 2009 League Schedule

I'll admit, I lied. I said the next post would be a player spotlight but that is still in the works. I promise Curt gave me some great responses so look for it soon.

For the Fall 2009 Kansas-Missouri Soccer League (KMSL) season, eight teams have been divided into Eastern and Western divisions:

Eastern: Truman, Mizzou, Saint Louis University, Washington University (St. Louis)

Western: Kansas, K-State, Wichita State, Washburn

The format includes playing home-and-away matches against each divisional opponent with two additional matches against teams from the other division. The season concludes, for invited teams, with the Region IV North Tournament at Kansas State. FC Truman has been invited to the Region IV North Tournament in each of its two years of competition.  The winner of the regional tournament gains an automatic bid to the NIRSA National Tournament in Phoenix, AZ.

Truman Loses 2, Falls to 3-4 on the Season

After a disappointing road trip to St. Louis, Truman finds itself 3-4 on the season. In the Saturday game, a Collin Koenig goal put Truman up early against SLU. After missing several chances, Truman let SLU back in the game and eventually fell 2-1. In the Sunday game, Truman fell 4-1 to Wash U. Mike Holly had the goal for Truman.

Truman wraps up its regular season against Mizzou in Columbia on Friday, October 10.

Truman falls to SLU 3-2, Wash U forfeits

This weekend, Truman lost to SLU 3-2. SLU took a 3-0 halftime lead, and Truman was unable to come back in the second half. Truman had goals by Chris Schranck and Nate Weimer.

For the sunday game, Washington University forfeited to Truman.

Fall 2007 Results

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.
