DAVID SCOTT, Men’s Soccer Coach
This past weekend marked the first-annual OC Soccer Alumni Weekend and it turned out to be a great event and a lot of fun for all who attended.
It was great to have these guys back on campus and give them an opportunity to see and play with former friends and teammates whom they hadn’t seen in a few years.
We had 13 alumni return for the match in the afternoon and it was a pretty good game until the alumni started to run out of gas. The current team won the match 5-2, but the game was much closer than the score would indicate. OC has definitely had a lot of talented players come through this program and it was nice to see them back on the field again.
I think this is an important event in that it gives the current players the opportunity to meet the alumni, learn a little of the history of the program, understand where this program has come from and know that, even though many of these former players have moved away and started lives in other places, we still represent them and what they started here.
This event also gives us a chance to keep the alumni informed about changes taking place not only in the soccer program, but within the university as well as much of the campus has changed since they were in school.
My hope is that this event will continue to grow in the future and we will have a greater number of alumni involved in this and other events we host. We mainly want to let them know that they are still a part of this program and they are very important to us.
