By Keith Hayes II | gargoyle@flagler.edu

Head coach John Lynch of the Flagler men’s soccer team said he likes being ranked in the top-25 of Division-II programs, but it’s the ranking at the end of the season that matters most.

“It is nice getting recognized. Being ranked puts a target on your back,” Lynch said. “I think it brings confidence. We need to learn to cope. What is important is the final rankings. If I wanted to be ranked, I want it to be the final one.”

While most students were away from Flagler, Conor Killeen and Adam Jackson spent their summer painting the campus buildings.

Killeen from Dublin, Ireland and Jackson from Nottingham, England, both play for Flagler College men’s soccer team.

Ron Dacko, the painting supervisor to Flagler College, and a few of the men’s soccer players from foreign countries, tackle the job each summer. Dacko said he was getting too old to handle the job all on his own.

Flagler Volleyball is off to a great start again as it comes back from a historic season that included a run to the Final Four.

The Saints are currently ranked 22.

Taylor Mott, head coach for Flagler College Saints’ volleyball team, was happy with the team’s results in their first four games.

“I think we did some amazing things in spurts,” Mott said. “We played scared at times, but I think some of the positives that I saw were just incredible.”

Flagler just wrapped up another amazing football season after defeating the UNF Ospreys in a nail biter. The Saints trailed for most of what was one of the best games in Flagler history.

With three seconds left in the fourth quarter, Saints quarterback Gavin Richardson threw a bomb deep down the field to a crowded end zone. Somehow, from out of the crowd, Antonio Marconi managed to catch the pigskin after it was deflected off of a UNF defenders helmet.
