Men’s soccer team loses close match against Lander

By Jeremy Petty | gargoyle@flagler.edu

The Flagler College men’s soccer team suffered a tough, 2-1 loss Saturday night when they played Lander.

The game began with a promising start as Flagler had a couple of early chances that would have given them a two-goal lead. In the first few minutes, Pol Berenguer played a ball from mid-field to Zach Shanahan who beat a lone defender with a great move to the outside. Unfortunately, the shot was pushed just wide of the right side of the net, missing by a small distance.

He slowed his voice down and commanded my attention.

I tried to calm my fidgety foot and thought about all of the other things that were pre-occupying my racing mind.

“2.” I said, “well, 8.” I corrected my sloppy thoughts with a simple math equation.

The painting from the garbage

By Phil Grech | gargoyle@flagler.edu

I have a painting hanging up in my bedroom that I found in the trash about ten years ago. People are always surprised to hear that when I tell them because it’s a great painting. Why anyone would have wanted to trash this thing is beyond me. It’s a nice painting and it beats decorating your house with the same Target prints and black light posters your friends have.
