Loras completes their first preseason match back on US soil tonight with a convincing 2-1 victory against D1 Drake University.  From the limited stats shown it had Loras leading in all offensive categories.

Easily could've been 3-1 Loras but it's only preseason but still embarrassing for Drake. Loras defense looked solid already.

Despite losing Figura in the back, this Loras defense is going to be rock solid once again.

I know Wartburg brought in a large recruiting class, but how many will make an impact this year?

Circle October 25 on your calendars and book your travel plans...Iowa Conference Championship will come down to that match between Loras and Wartburg in the Rock Bowl.

I beg to differ. I see the big game on that date will be in Storm Lake.

The recruiting class is just all quantity but short on quality. my source says only the kid from naperville  il is decent. I saw him in state cup and he's quality.
But yep, wartburg will be strong this year. Loras 3 - 0 wartburg in the rock bowel.

What are other recruiting classes besides Wartburg looking like in the IIAC will any freshmen contribute for the other schools?

It'll be interesting to see if Wartburg's freshman class does anything this year. With as big of recruiting classes as Loras generally brings in, and Wartburg now bringing in class sizes of equal numbers, it can't be too far fetched to assume there are a couple strong players for both teams who can directly make an impact. But from what I've heard, Dubuque and Simpson are supposedly bringing in strong freshmen according to a few people I've been talking to. Anybody hear anything else similar, or different? I'm rather curious.

@Madhatter ... The Beavers come to the Rock Bowl this year ... Sadly, that means no trip to Storm Lake.

I see a lot of kids on the Wartburg roster that come from CVYSA club in Iowa. Anyone know if that's any good? Never heard of it before.

I find it very interesting that Wartburg's assistant coach has zero college soccer experience. Not saying that its an automatic dismissal, but awfully odd to see, unless you're brothers with the head coach...

The Duhawks make it 3-0 right before half time with a talley by Kyler Olson.

3-0 is the final score in a match Loras handled well from whistle to whistle.   Nice start Duhawks!

The game I was talking about was the BV vs Coe game...

Hiring siblings seems to be going around the IIAC....

Loras with another dominating win over Willamette today 3-0. This one could have been much worse.

is whitewater about the same as last year or are they weaker? 3-0 at half is pretty convincing
