Tryouts will be held September 6,7,8th at 6 PM on Gettler Field.

Let me, Alan Hagerty, UC Club Soccer President, know if you have any questions at alan.j.hagerty@gmail.com or 937-654-8342.

Letter from the President: End of Year Review

First, this year has been a pleasure working and sweating it out with you all on the pitch besides you. So for that, thank you. I am honored to serve as your President and Captain.

Also, I would like to formally thank our coach, Randy Anderson. His passion and love for the game has inspired us to success. Simply put, our team would not be the same without him. Please thank him personally as he will be returning as our Head Coach this upcoming season.

This fall, we broke a number of records. With a record of 8-2-2, we finished second in the Eastern Division.   We were tied for 5th in the Power Ranking for the 40+ MASC conference. And most importantly of all, we qualified for the regional tournament. Unfortunately, and due to no fault of our own, the tournament was canceled and we narrowly missed nationals. That won't happen again.

This winter, we played indoor at TriCounty Sportsplex for both winter sessions. Besides winning two of the three leagues, at one point we were winning against a semi-professional indoor team.   Great stuff boys.

This spring, we tried something else new. We played in the GCASL. And we were damn good. With a record of 7-1, we won the league. If you happen to be on campus sometime soon, stop by the SALD office on the 4th floor of Steger. Our trophy is proudly displayed amoung all club sports. We even competited in the adidas Warrior Soccer Classic. We were definitely on of the best teams in the field, alas, the best team doesn't alway win in soccer and thats the beauty of the sport.

We won some other awards this year, too. We were named the Team Sport of the Year by the Club Sports Board. Also, Randy Anderson was recognized as the Coach of the Year. Legit.

After our last match last Friday, we recognized some players for their contributions to the club, as well.

Defensive Player of the Year: Gary Henderson
Offensive Player of the Year: Jake McDonald
Goal of the Year: Joey Sandmann, Ball State bicycle kick
Most Valuable Player: Alan Hagerty

Looking to the future, we will have pick up practices this summer. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Tryouts are scheduled for September 6th, 7th, and 8th at 6 PM on Gettler.   Spread the word! Our goals are to beat Ohio State, win the Eastern Division, top the MASC Power Ranking, and become national champs. Sounds simple enough, eh?

Cheers,
Alan Hagerty
UC Club Soccer President

Bearcats Conquer Indoor

The club, dubbed Clifton Heights Hooligans, won the Tri-County Sportsplex indoor soccer league in the winter session I. Currently, the team is currently playing in the winter session II and is undefeated.

Regionals cancelled due to rain

Unfortunately, UC could not continue its historical season due to weather. The league commissioner decided to cancel the tournament because of rain. The Bearcats will work hard in the off-season playing indoor in the winter and U-23 league in the spring. Next year to eliminate this happening again they have to crush every team and run the table. Come out and support us next year as we hope to make an appearance at Nationals.

Bearcats advance to regionals

The Bearcats capped off a record-breaking season with a 2-1 victory against cross-town rival Xavier and with a 0-0 against Ohio University. The Bearcats finished the regular season (8-2-2) and (6-1-2) in the league qualifying them for the regional tournament. This is the first time the Bearcats have made the tournament in the short history of the program. In the first game Adam scored the first goal for UC with a nice run and combination play in the midfield. Joey then doubled the Bearcats lead with another goal. Although they dominated the second half they couldn't find the back of the net and Xavier pulled one back. Saturday the Bearcats got help from Dayton when they tied Miami clinching a spot for UC in regionals with one game left to play. Sunday the Bearcats battled hard with nothing to lose but was unable to find the back of the net. However a tie did secure a second place finish in the leauge and an easier road for the tournament. The tie also prevented Ohio from making the regional tournament. The Bearcats travel to Bloomington, IN this weekend as they face Wis-LaCrosse at noon and Michigan at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The first round is a round robin format with the first place team advancind to the knockout stage. On Sunday the Semifinals will be taking place at 9:30 a.m. and the Final is at 1:30 p.m. Come out and support you UC Bearcats as they hope to make history again by raising the regional tournament trophy this weekend and advance to nationals.

UC and Miami tie

In a hard fought game both teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. Both teams had a lot of possession in the first half. Miami had a couple opportunities to score and slightly controlled the game. In the second half the Bearcats took the initiative and had more chances than Miami. The Bearcats strung more passes together and tired Miami as the half went along. There were two red cards handed out in a physical game. A small squabble broke out in the second half when Jimmy Rosen was elbowed in the face. The Bearcats had several dangerous opportunities in the final 10 minutes of the game. The best chance came when Wes Rasdorf hit the post on a breakaway with the keeper. UC is still in the running for a place in Regional Finals but now faces two must win games to close out the season. The Bearcats next game is against Xavier Wednesday 7:30 at Winton Woods High School.
