With eight countries represented and
a fresh group of new players, the Moody
men’s soccer team has had an excellent
start to their 2010 season, beginning
with a win against Rockford University
in a scrimmage 1-0. The following three
victories against Holy Cross University
5-2 on Aug. 28, against Benedictine
University 5-2 on Sept. 1, and against
Robert Morris College 7-1 on Sept. 7
fueled the fire. They have suffered one
loss to Manchester College 1-4 on Sept.

team was not at full strength with many
of the upperclassmen not playing.
With a current record of 3-1, the players
are pumped for a great year. James Choi,
sophomore youth ministry major, joined
the team last spring to prepare for this
year. He mentioned what he thinks is

people think that whether a soccer team
does well or not depends on the players’
abilities, but that’s not true,” he said.
“It is based so much on having a good
coach, and Coach Harding is a great
coach, he and his assistants.”
Choi also talked about the importance
of the fans, stating, “When the crowd
