We have a very young team and the spring is a great time to help prepare our team for the fall. With 10 starters back, we want to build on our late season success.

The alumni game is one of the best events of the year. It is great to see a lot of the players that have done great things for the Bears over the years. I think that they will be excited about the things that are happening to Bears soccer as we move fully back into Division I. The plans for the new stadium complex are unbelievable and will give us a great new home.

We are excited to have Amanda join the Bears program. She is both fast and hard-working and is also a great student. She will play up front for us and we look for her to score and create.

It is a great opportunity for our players to compete in what should be a fun tournament. Each school will have two teams and play four games each and the winners of the two brackets will play for the tournament championship. Everyone will get a lot of playing time and it is a great way to start off the spring.
