I don’t know where the summer went but it is time to gear up for volleyball and soccer. There is a lot going on around campus over the next two weeks so if you are in or near Rock Hill stop by to see the excitement. Not only at the Coliseum Area where we will have six sporting events from now until Aug. 27. But also on campus, Welcome Week begins for the Student-body next week. Boyd Jones always brings in great acts for that. Classes begin on the 23rd.
The 2011-12 school year officially begins tonight with the women’s soccer exhibition against Wofford at 6 p.m. Although the match does not count in the standings it is a sign that summer is over. The full student body does not arrive for another week but with fall student-athletes and RA’s already on campus it is getting the feeling of starting up for real. Tonight’s exhibition will give us our first glimpse of the 2010Regular Season Big South Co-Champs. The Eagles were the top-seed in last year’s Big South Tournament. This season they are picked sixth which seems a little low to me but when you realize five teams tied for first last year it is hard to shuffle the deck. I think the Big South will be wide open again this year and multiple teams including Winthrop have a chance to be successful.
Tonight’s match begins a week of preseason action. The Men’s soccer team has its exhibition game on the 17th and volleyball plays its Garnet and Gold game on the 22nd. The first game that counts is next week, the 19th, when women’s soccer hosts Georgia Southern. That will be our first Big South Network game of the season.
