The Ben Allen era has officially begun. The new head coach of the UMHB men’s soccer program was promoted to the position months ago, but within the last week, with his entire team on campus, he and assistant coach Javier Zaragoza got the chance to see the team in action.
They led the Cru through practice on Saturday evening, with the first of three exhibitions set for Wednesday night in Belton. Coming off a 10-0 mark in ASC play in 2021, the team looked strong, and True To The Cru’s Russell Marwitz was there to capture all of the action from the preseason workout.
Below is a collection of photos from the evening practice. The Cru battles Hill College at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and opens the year at UH-Victoria on Sept. 1.
