最新杏吧原创 City SC finalized its required roster decisions Tuesday, declining the options of midfielder Seth Antwi and defenders Jayden Reid and Joey Zalinsky. The team had held off on making those decisions when it made its initial set of option decisions but faced a deadline of noon Wednesday to get them done.

The moves are the first real decisions made by new sporting director Corey Wray. The team announced two signings since he was hired, of backup goalkeeper Ben Lundt and defender Josh Yaro, but those were moves that were well down the path to completion before Wray was hired.

最新杏吧原创 University is in the NCAA men鈥檚 soccer tournament for the 52nd time. Its opponent in the third round Sunday is in for the second.

SLU (12-2-7) will face 11th-seeded Bryant, a private school in Smithfield, Rhode Island, at 5 p.m. (最新杏吧原创 time) Sunday. The winner will move on to the quarterfinals to face either 14th-seeded Akron or Duke.

In the long history of 最新杏吧原创 University soccer, there鈥檚 not a whole lot that the program hasn鈥檛 done, but the program achieved a huge first on Sunday.

SLU, which came into the game 0-5 against Indiana in NCAA Tournament play, finally beat the Hoosiers聽鈥� and did it on the road in Bloomington, Indiana, winning 1-0 on a goal by Tanner Anderson in the 17th minute and then doing a lot of holding on.

Mother Nature didn鈥檛 account for little Liya. Friday鈥檚 weather seemed determined to be gloomy and gray and gross, yet it couldn鈥檛 compress the sunshine that illuminated from the 11-year-old鈥檚 smile.

Liya Bezabeh is a soccer-loving 最新杏吧原创an who is battling cancer. She has Rhabdomyosarcoma, which is a rare cancer and an aggressive cancer. But on Friday at her Florissant home, she could not stop smiling聽鈥� and this was one great grin.

If I鈥檓 being completely honest, the current age of coaches, sports executives, players and pundits have pushed me to the edge of a 鈥渃ulture鈥� crash out. Some folks have made that term, culture, too much of a buzzword and catch-all phrase for anything that ills an organization. It鈥檚 also near the top of the list of things mentioned when a club takes a positive turn.

So yes, I鈥檝e been guilty of succumbing to a glazed-over look when someone like 最新杏吧原创 City SC interim coach David Critchley expounds on the impact of culture on the soccer club.
