Women's Team Going to Nationals

Most of you know that the women's team has qualified for the NCCAA II National Tournament in Kissimmee, Florida by defeating Northland earlier this season. Once again, it is the first time that the NCAA III dates have allowed one of the soccer teams to go to this tournament in many years. The tournament dates are November 9-12th in Kissimmee, Fl near Orlando.

Normally, our teams drive to such events, but this year, the college administration is throwing their support behind flying the team to Florida. This will greatly reduce missed classtime and lessen the physical strain that 20+ hours of driving would create. We are extremely thankful for this opportunity, however there is going to be a budget shortfall because the original plan was to drive. We are asking anyone who is interested to make a tax deductible donation toward this effort. Yesterday, the team recieved a pledge of $1,000 from a parent! It was a great email to find in my inbox and we are on the verge of booking the flights.

Will you give to send the Maranatha Women's Soccer Team to the NCCAA II national tournament? We will be representing you. All donors will recieve an MBBC soccer t-shirt and sackpack. If you or your business is interested, please contact me by email: jcaucutt at mbbc dot edu or cell: 920 248 8034.

. . . and the guys get a chance to earn the trip next weekend at Northland! - C
