A 2-1 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes and a tie to Purdue were the final matches of the 2008 season for the Wolverines. Despite a strong effort throughout the season, U of M has not qualified for the national championship tournament.

The team would like to thank all family, friends, and fans for their ongoing support of the U of M Mens Club Soccer team!

The Wolverines finished out the regular season with a 0-0 tie against Western Michigan and Livonia Stevenson High School this past Sunday. Despite consistent back and forth action, neither team could find the back of the net.

U of M heads to the Regional tournament this weekend with matches against No. 1 ranked Ohio State and Purdue. Game times are Saturday 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, respectively.

The Wolverines defeated Michigan State by a score a 3-1 on Wednesday night, in what was arguably one of the best performances of the season. An early first half goal by Jason Riley got the Wolverines on track right from the start. Midway through the second half, Kevin Hall doubled the Wolverines' lead with a slick chip over the goalkeeper to the far side netting. The Wolverines took the lead and the momentum going into the second half.

The Spartans kept more of the ball throughout the second half and, as a result, were able to cut UM's lead about halfway through the second half. MSU had a chance to tie it up minutes later, but a clutch breakaway save from Matt Staton kept Blue in the lead. As the second half wound down, Tommy Hazen slid a ball behind the Spartan back line, where Alex Lumley bent the ball around the goalkeeper to seal the victory.

UMich will finish the regular season this Sunday (10/26) versus Western Michigan. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 AM at Livonia Stevenson High School. Directions can be found here.

Here are the directions to tomorrow's game versus MSU at Howell High School. Kickoff is at 8 PM.

U of M suffered their first setback of the season with a 2-1 loss to Purdue over the weekend. A goal by Justin Aramaki in the early stages of the second half put Blue up 1-0. However, a Boilermaker free kick and a rebound goal were enough to send Michigan home with a loss.

The Wolverines face a tough Michigan State side this Wednesday @ 8 PM in Howell. Directions will be posted prior to the match.

Michigan added two to the win column with victories over Ferris State and Central Michigan this past weekend. Ike Odum proved to be the stand out player for the Wolverines, tallying a goal in both matches. Goals from Matt Hecker and John Courage also helped the Wolverines during a weekend where goals were difficult to come by.

MMCS would also like to thank the parents, friends, and fans that purchased t-shirts over the weekend. Your contributions to the team are greatly appreciated! If you are interested in purchasing a club soccer t-shirt ($10), feel free to contact us using our "Contact Us" page.

UM travels to Indianapolis this coming weekend for crucial matches against Miami and Purdue. Check back next week for the results!

In a hard fought, physical game from both teams, a goal from Kevin Hall halfway through the second half proved to be the difference in a 1-0 win on Sunday. Although the Wolverines saw more possession than the Lakers, Grand Valley's exceptional goalkeeping kept the Wolverines at bay for most of the game. The win brings the team's record to 4 wins and 1 tie on the season and still keeps their goals against stat at zero.

The team will go back in action on October 11th, when they will take on Ferris State for an 11 AM start at Eastern Michigan.

An overall successful weekend for the Wolverines has raised their record to 3 wins and 1 tie on the year. Starting on Thursday, the Wolverines took on their neighbor, Eastern Michigan. While it took awhile for the Maize and Blue to get going, a goal and an assist from Nico Fotieo led to a 4-0 victory.

On Saturday, Illinois came to town in a hard faught battle in Dexter. Questionable reffing led to a scrappy game, with action switching from one end to the other for a majority of the game. A Justin Aramaki penalty kick in the first half proved to be the difference in a 1-0 win for the Wolverines.

For the last game of the weekend, UM traveled to Bowling Green for a match up with Ohio University. Due to injuries, the Wolverines struggled to mount any sort of attack. While the game ended with a 0-0 draw, the Wolverines managed to keep their goals against at zero for the season.

In their season opener, the Michigan Club Soccer team defeated the Titans of Indiana University South Bend by a score of 16-0. Twelve Wolverines were included on the game's score sheet. The team will look to stick to their winning ways as they prepare for three games in four days starting this Thursday with Eastern Michigan, Saturday versus Illinois, and Sunday against Ohio.
