Alumni Game Was A Big Success!

After the final whistle blew on Saturdays Alumni match both current and former Saints soccer players came off the field with smiles on their faces.  For the alumni, it was the first time that many of these 21 ladies have seen each other and played together since the end of their carriers.  For the current players it was a chance to get everyone in the game and get some touches on the ball.  Although no official stats were kept or the score posted neither team was willing to concede the match so a draw seemed to be fair result. 

"It was great to see so many former players come back and take part in this event.  We had the top four goal scores in Carroll history on the pitch along with the top 5 all-time point leaders and the top 2 goal keepers playing for the alumni.  It was a chance for the new freshman to be reminded on the past glories and give them a since of pride putting on the Carroll uniform," stated coach Thorvilson. 

A special thanks to the fans, families, and the alumni office for making this event possible.  The Saints will be in action for their first regular season game on Saturday August 30 in Olympia, WA were they will face power house Concordia-Portland.

Saints down Point Loma in 2nd round

Another year, another milestone for the Carroll College women’s soccer team.

The Saints, who earned the first NAIA national tournament berth in school history a year ago, etched their names in the history books yet again Friday night. They claimed the first national tournament victory in the program’s history, beating Point Loma Nazarene (Calif.) 2-1 on a chilly night at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.

“It’s pretty significant,” Carroll senior keeper Nikki Skaggs said. “For so long the football team has gotten the spotlight, but we’ve been working our butts off to get in there, too. We want to show our school and everyone else we can play soccer, too.”
 The seventh-seeded Saints (17-1-2) were plenty convincing in Friday’s dynamic performance, which sets up a 5:30 p.m. quarterfinal battle today with defending national champion and second-seeded Lindsey Wilson (16-2-3). Story
