December News

Yes, I am over my shock and bewilderment that the USA lost the World Cup bid to Qatar.  I will attempt to stem my sarcastic remarks for the next 12 years and instead start immediately on building up the excessive tan necessary to survive in the harsh desert climate.  For this weekend anyway, spin the globe away from the Middle East and land your finger on Philadelphia PA.  Drexel Soccer has a few great events to check out.  

Doug Hess & Brian Green will host a College Soccer Prep Camp this Saturday, December 11th.  One more step in the direction of "program building" is great for our men's soccer program.  Let's hope the coaches get a good showing of players interested in getting a look at the college soccer environment.  Details and sign-up information available on drexelmsoc.locker10.com.

One of the great fundraisers related to Drexel Soccer, The Laura Miekle-Koch Alumni Happy Hour will also be this Saturday, December 11th.  Hosted by our favorite sponsor Cavanaugh's Restaurant & Sports Bar.  Make sure you leave time in your weekend for this event, like I always say "It's a great cause and a great time, so why not..."  Details available on Facebook as well as under "Tailgating & Events" at the top of the page.

In other news, Drexel kicks ass at the CAA Blood Drive Challenge yet again!  This year is now the 5th straight in a row that Drexel Athletics has raised the most usable pints of blood of any CAA school.  One can't help but feel the irony that this consistent achievement doesn't seem to translate over to the athletics side of.. athletics..  Regardless of how simultaneously uplifting yet depressing this fact may seem to all those involved in Drexel Athletics, it is certainly great for the community and a considerable amount of credit has to go to Dr. Rebecca Weidensaul for everything she contributes.  Congratulations Drexel, The ACHIEVE Center and everyone else involved.
