OLIVET, Mich. - The men's soccer program will host its pre-season Red & White game on Sunday, Aug. 28, at 10:30 a.m. at the Olivet Soccer Field. With fall camp starting just days before, it's the first chance for fans to get a look at the 2011 edition of the Comets.
"This game is a great chance to get our players into a bit of a competitive environment early in camp," said Head Coach Chad Wiseman, who led his team last season to back-to-back winning seasons for the second time in school history. "We change up our regular training for the day and it lets us see both our returning players and the newcomers in a simulated game."
The game will be contested in two 45-minute halves, and the teams will be managed on the sidelines by the assistant coaches. Josh Ross will coach the red team, while Tom Oatley will coach the white team. After the contest, there will be a social for parents, friends and fans to meet the Olivet players. Food will also be provided.
