St. Peter, Minn. – Gustavus Adolphus head men’s soccer coach Mike Middleton has announced the date for this spring’s annual Alumni Match. The Gustavus Men’s Soccer Alumni Match will be held on Saturday, May 9 at 2:30 p.m. on Hollingsworth Field inside the Gustavus Football Stadium.
“For the first time, the game will be played on turf,” said Head Coach Mike Middleton. “That ensures that the surface will be sound – something that is never easy to get right in Minnesota in the Spring! The ball will move quickly and it should be a fun, competitive game as a result. We have some excellent younger players fighting to get into the starting lineup, so this will be an important step in their development.”
A post-match celebration will be held at Patrick’s on 3rd Bar and Restaurant in downtown St. Peter at 4:30 p.m. All alumni, family, and friends of the program encouraged to attend.
“With active alumni support, we know that our future teams will continue to earn praise and respect at both the conference and national level,” said Middleton. “The match should be a lot of fun. We have a large senior group who is looking to play their first game on the alumni side. On top of that we have a number of the Cardinals coming down, which is a team in the Twin Cities made up almost exclusively of Gustavus soccer alums.”
