BELTON-The season has ended for the UMHB men’s and women’s soccer teams, but the awards keep rolling in.
There was no lack of UMHB representation on the All-Region teams released by the United Soccer Coaches on Wednesday, as a total of seven Crusaders, along with a coaching staff, were featured with the Region 10 honorees.
We have tallied the votes, and it is now time to present True To The Cru’s Football Players of the Week for the second round, presented by the Crusader Football Alumni Association, a proud gold sponsor of our coverage at True To The Cru.
BELTON- After a road trip to San Antonio in the second round, UMHB has earned yet another home game. And at perhaps the most opportune time.
Coming to Belton on Saturday is Bethel, a team ranked No. 13 in the nation, riding a wave of momentum after back-to-back playoff road wins, including a 30-13 result at Linfield last Saturday. It is easily the toughest opponent UMHB has faced at Crusader Stadium this season.
BELTON- The UMHB football team will be playing on its home turf for a seventh time in 2022.
The Crusaders’ 24-17 win over Trinity in San Antonio, combined with Bethel’s 30-13 victory at Linfield, gave UMHB an early Christmas present, hosting a quarterfinal matchup for the fifth straight season. UMHB is 4-1 in those third-round duels, and 9-5 all-time in the quarterfinal round.
It took plenty of strong performances for UMHB to leave San Antonio with the win on Saturday, and we would like to recognize a few of those in this week’s voting, presented by the Crusader Football Alumni Association, a proud gold sponsor of True To The Cru, and massive supporter of UMHB football and UMHB athletics.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas- The UMHB defense answered the call on Saturday afternoon.
Backed up into its own territory, with Trinity having converted on consecutive third-downs, and approaching its 20th minute on the field in the second half, the Crusader defense had a lead to protect.
