Matt Clark led the way for Flagler on Saturday, Nov. 19, sinking six threes and scoring 24 of the 108 points over Trinity, who scored 78.

John Bianchi of Trinity also sank six of his threes and scored 24 points, but it was not enough to keep up with the Saints’ offense.

The Saints held their lead throughout the entire game, not giving the Tigers anything to work with.

Flagler College men’s soccer team rolled through their opponents this past weekend in a tough two-game stretch. Their first game of the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional tournament was played against Lees-McRae on Friday, Nov. 11 in South Carolina. Flagler scored a golden goal in overtime that gave them the 2-1 victory.

Flagler then played their next game on Sunday against Mars Hill College in the Southeast Regional final. The outcome wasn’t nearly as close as their previous game. Flagler took control from the beginning and didn’t stop until the end.

Pavements to Somewhere

I’ve crossed the finish line, but this crowd is unfamiliar.   My surroundings, unexpected.  Until now, it was a place I’d only dreamt about, and this is not what I predicted.

My cross-country season is over.  Practices have ceased.  My races are done.  Like so many other senior athletes — and like generations of athletes who have come before me — my status as a student-athlete has effectively come to an end.

I’ve wondered about this day for years.  How I would feel?  How I would cope?  It’s the evitable finish to a 4-year race that, before today, was obscure and insubstantial, existing only in my mind as a quietly ignored but perpetually imminent mystery.
