'I am happy about our team this year', says Mike Vickers, who also played soccer for GLCC this fall, 'and we will do good.' The Crusaders enter the season ranked 8th in the NCCAA DII Poll, and are an early favourite to contend for the regional crown. 'I think we can win our region', says Jimbo Harvey, 'I expect about 25 wins.'

Northland turned on the pressure early and never slowed down while the Crusaders looked completely out-of-sync and were forced to play with only ten for much of the second half due to an ejection. It was be the last game for the Crusaders on their home pitch this season. Great Lakes will seek some redemption and revenge on Wednesday as they take on rival Grace, who defeated them in a close match only a few weeks ago.

The Cougars, however, were quick to answer, leveling the scoreline with a pair of their own by the 18th minute. The two sides would go to the break that way, level at two.   The second half started much slower, but GLCC were able to break the deadlock in the 69th when Gregory was again assisted by Burk on another excellent through ball that left him one-on-one with the keeper for the second time to give the Crusaders the edge at 3-2. Three minutes later, an excellent run of play down the wing culminated in another goal for Gregory off a Danny Bwegar cross to give him his second consecutive hat-trick and GLCC a seemingly safe 4-2 lead.   Then the floodgates opened.   Kuyper riddled the Great Lakes defence with four goals in the final fifteen minutes, a furious tirade of shots that the Crusaders simply could not keep up with, making the final score a dissapointing 6-4.   GLCC's next opponent are the Pioneers from Northland International on Tuesday at 2:00 at Henderson Field.

Soccer, not baseball. The Crusaders jumped out to a 4-0 margin in the first 15 minutes via goals from Brandon Gregory, two from Matt Burk and another from Joey Whittaker. The Red Lions pulled one back, only to see Gregory pop in another pair of goals before halftime, giving him his hat-trick by the 37th minute and Great Lakes a 6-1 advantage at the break. Jacob Embs led off the scoring in the second half in the 48th to increase the margin to 7-1. Another goal from (guess who?) Gregory and also from Embs expanded the lead to the largest GLCC would hold, at 9-1. Despite the fact that LCU were able to score a couple of late cosmetic goals, the Crusaders could be well satisfied with the final result, a 9-3 drubbing. Unfortunately, the success did not carry over into the conference match with Moody Bible Institute on Monday. The boys were behind 8-0 at the break, despite a much better performance in the second half, the boys could not find the net, and fell by a final of 10-0. The Crusaders will continue their conference stretch when they host Kuyper for a 4:00 kickoff on Thursday.

"We played better as a team in the second half, said goalkeeper Landon Koch, "at least we looked good in our uniforms." The Crusaders next match is a conference tie with Lincoln Christian on Friday at Henderson Field. Colton Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:40:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:146
