Soccer Bowl Ends... Journey Begins for Hawks

Week 3: August 24th - 31st

After defeating Upper Iowa Friday night by the score of 4-0, the QU Soccer Hawks came from behind in the last few minutes of the game to tie Tiffin University 1-1 in what could only be described as a "dogfight" Saturday evening. Though not winning the Soccer Bowl, the team showed total Hawk pride and a desire to never give up. Coach Jack Mackenzie told the team he wasn't satisfied with the tie, but that he was proud of the players for their determination not to lose. "This is the makings of a great soccer team," Coach added.

The Hawks will go through a week of training before traveling to Michigan over Labor Day weekend to play Saginaw Valley State in another regional match.
