With its season-opener against Wisconsin-Whitewater set for Sept. 1 in Abilene, the UMHB women’s soccer team continued its exhibition schedule on Saturday night, playing Jacksonville College to a 3-3 draw in Belton. Several freshmen stood out, and the returners were strong as well, as the Crusaders look towards their final exhibition on Tuesday against Huston-Tillotson before the regular season begins.
True To The Cru’s Russell Marwitz captured the action at the Cru Soccer Field on Saturday night. Below is a collection of his field-level photos from the match.
BELTON, Texas- In his press conference prior to Saturday’s 49-3 victory over Texas Lutheran, UMHB head coach Pete Fredenburg brought up the linebackers unit on multiple occasions. Without senior captain Mikkah Hackett, there were questions about the Cru’s depth at the position.
But those questions were put to rest in Saturday’s win, as UMHB’s three leading tacklers were all linebackers; Omari Frazier, Jacob Mueller, Akeem Jackson. Additionally, younger standouts such as Durand Hill stepped up, keeping the Bulldog offense at bay.
BELTON, Texas- The last time UMHB went on the road, it as nearly a month ago to Abilene, where the Crusaders took down McMurry 77-3. This week, they will be playing much further north, battling Wisconsin-Whitewater on the road for the first time since 2007.
