Spring Break
Senior forward Caleb Mitchell is making the most of his recent starts for the UMKC men's soccer team. Mitchell stung Rockhurst University for two goals, including an overtime gamewinner in the 101st minute, for a 3-2 victory against the Hawks Wednesday night at Bourke Field.
People tend to recall a significant news event by remembering exactly where they were and what they were doing when it occurred. It's no different in the world of sports. Take Game Three of the 1980 American League Championships Series for example. I was 16 years old.
UMKC's basketball programs kicked off their pre-season with an open practice session in downtown Kansas City Friday night. Hoopsters from the Kangaroos' women's and men's teams briefly showcased their talents in front of an eager crowd at the College Basketball Experience (CBE) inside the Sprint Center.
After traveling north for two matches, the Kangaroos came home without a win. The Roos took on North Dakota State University (NDSU), the Summit League's only undefeated team, Friday evening and followed up with a match against South Dakota State University (SDSU) on Saturday.
The UMKC men's soccer team stayed perfect at home by notching a 3-1 victory over the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) Saturday afternoon at Bourke Field. The Kangaroos improved their record to 7-4-2 overall and have won all five of their home games this season.
Guthrie on CLASS Award shortlist Garret Guthrie, senior defender of the UMKC men's soccer team, got one step closer to a prestigious honor Oct. 16. Guthrie will be one of ten men's college soccer representatives selected for Lowe's Senior CLASS Award.
