Men’s
soccer striving for playoff position

A key to success in sports, and life for that matter, is
to always improve on previous ventures.
The MCC men’s soccer team can take solace in knowing that they accomplished
one objective this season by already surpassing the 2004 season win total
with a month still left to play. Quality offensive play and stellar goalkeeping
have factored into six wins to date.

After winning three of its first four games, the Mesa

“My main goal for the team this year is to make the Valley of the
Sun Bowl game,” said Dan Dunn, head coach of the Thunderbirds.
