9/26/11
This past weekend saw the Hawks split two GLVC matches. On Friday 9/23 the Hawks got an early first half goal from junior defender Mike Andres (DeSmet HS) on a shot blasted in from outside the penalty area. Andres tally, notched in the 9th minute, stood up for the rest of the match giving the Brown & White a 1-0 victory over St. Joseph's College. Freshman winger Ethan Venvertloh (Quincy High) provided the assisting pass. From then on, keeper Drew Duncan (spohomore from CBC) and the Hawk midfielders and backline held off several Puma attacks to preserve the shut out victory.
On Sunday 9/25 the Hawks were upended 2-0 by a very good University of Indianapolis squad. The Greyhounds were gifted an unfortunate Hawk "own goal" in the 10th minute that clearly put them on the "back foot" for a long stretch before U of I struck again in the 42nd minute to pretty much "seal the deal". The Hawks tried to put on a second half rally but the Greyhounds wouldn't fold.
The Hawks are now 5-2-1 overall and 4-1-1 in the GLVC. This weekend the Hawks host new GLVC member William Jewell University on Friday night (9/30) at 7:30 PM, and then host long time rival Rockhurst University on Sunday (10/2) at 2:30 PM. If you're anywhere near QU's North Campus Field this weekend stop by an support your team.

SOCCER HAWKS BEAT UWP AND LEWIS
9/19/11
Homecoming Weekend saw the Hawks post two very important GLVC wins over UWP (Wisconsin-Parkside), and Lewis Universities. The Hawks are now 4-1-1 and 3-0-1 in the GLVC.
On Friday 9/16 Grant Ellison scored on one of his patented breakaway runs at the 85minute mark to snatch the victory. Ryan Seifert fed Grant a nice through ball for the assist. Grant is a senior from St. Dominic's HS and Ryan is a sophomore from St. Dominic's also. With usual starting keeper DJ Lampert sidelined with a knee injury, Drew Duncan (red-shirt freshman from CBC) stepped in between the posts and did an excellent job recording 9 saves, several quite spectatular, to earn the shutout win. This was a fiercely contested match played at a very intense pace.
On Sunday, 9/18 the Hawks jumped out to an early lead over Lewis with two goals in the first 10 minutes of action. Jordan Roberts, a freshman striker from England, kick-started the game with a nice curling shot in the 5th minute for his first collegiate goal, and Grant Ellison blasted home a PK in the 10th minute. After that the game settled down and Lewis started to come back and notched their only goal at the 23 minute mark. Most of the second half saw each team take turns pressing the action. However, in the final 10 minutes of the second half the Hawks rejuvenated and got a "killing" 3rd goal on a great shot by Jeff Vaninger (CBC) from outside the Penalty Area into the far upper corner of the net in the 83rd minute. And then Grant Ellison closed out the scoring with a nify flick header off a nice crossing pass by Jordan Roberts. Once again Drew Duncan was in goal and although he allowed one goal he also came up with 6 important saves. Like the Parkside match, and for that matter all the Hawk matches so far, this was another very intense game. The Hawks are playing strong, determined soccer and they have to because every game on their schedule is against a top-notch opponent. The GLVC is truly a very fine collegiate soccer Conference.
The wins over Parkside and Lewis are important in the GLVC Conference standings, and were the first over both of these teams in the same season since 1998. Tis coming weekend the Hawks afre on the road playing at St. Joseph's College on Friday night 9/23 at 7:30 PM and then playing at U. of Indianapolis on Sunday 9/25 at 2:30 PM. If you happen to be in the vacinity of either of these schools come on by and support our team.

QU-UMSL TIE; HAWKS BEAT MARYVILLE
9/12/11
On Friday, September 9th, QU and UMSL battled to a 0-0 tie after 110 minutes of action. The game might be visualized as two strong rams bashing heads on a mountainside. Neither side gave the other any time or space to get any control of play so the action streaked back and forth, end to end, at a fast pace. The Brown & White outshot the visitors 19-13, but each had 6 shots on frame. UMSL had the edge in corner kicks 5-1, and each keepeer had 6 saves, both pulling off a couple of truly game-saving stops.
On Sunday, September 11th, the Hawks traveled to St. Louis and out kicked the Maryville Saints 3-1. Winger, Jeff Vaninger got the Hawks out in front 1-0 with a blast from about 15 yards out at the 25 minute mark of the first half. The Hawks, though leading, were not in full contrl of the match and surrendered a goal to the Saints with about 8 minutes remaining before half-time. Vaninger once again pushed QU into the lead about 5 minutes after the half-time interval when he stole a ball from a defender and was successful on a quick strike past the keeper. Striker, Grant Ellison, finished off the Saints hopes by converting a nice assist pass from left back Carl Hodges with a smooth left footed shot into the far corner of the goal, well away from the helpless goal keeper.
Both matches were important GLVC contests and place the Hawks around the middle of the pack in the 16 team GLVC table with a 1-0-1 record after the first weekend of games. GLVC action resumes in Quincy this Friday night, 9/16, at 7:30 PM when QU meets Wisconsin-Parkside, and continues on Sunday, September 18, at 2:30 PM when they face Lewis University. This is Homecoming Weekend, a time to "Get Back Where Once You Belonged", right here on the QU campus.

HAWKS SOAR...THEN FALL
9/5/11
The Soccer Hawks opened their 2011 season with an impressive 3-0 victory over Lindenwood University on Saturday night to kick-off Soccer Bowl XVII. Senior striker, Grant Ellison, notched two goals, and midfielder Nate Heryford scored one. Freshman Ethan Venvertloh had two assists on the night, and Jeff Vaninger served up one. All in all the Hawks played very well throughout the match outshooting the Lions 11 to 6 and holding a 5 to 0 edge in corner kicks won during their first win of the season.
On Sunday, the Hawks started off fast against Truman State scoring in the 17th minute with a breakaway goal by Grant Ellison, with the assist going to Jeff Vaninger. However, the Hawks let the game slip away from them for about a 20 minute period after their goal and allowed the "Dogs" of TSU to take over and score twice before half-time. The Hawks regrouped during the half-time interval and pretty much dominated the whole second half but could not find an equalizing goal. Unfortunately, although outshooting TSU 10 to 3 in the second half, and 22 to 9 throughout the game, the Hawks suffered their first loss of the season.
Missouri S & T who defeated TSU 2-0 on Saturday night and Lindenwood 2-1 on Sunday night won Soccer Bowl XVII being the only undefeated team in the tournament.
On Friday night, September 9, the Hawks will open up their home GLVC season against the visiting Tritons of UMSL, at 7:30 PM at North Campus Field. On Sunday, September 11, the Hawks will travel to St. Louis to play at Maryville University at 2:30 PM. If you get a chance come out and support the team.
