The alumni stormed back to put a victory over the varsity team, 7-5. They were led by Nick Cross from the Class of 2018; Kamran Nallamothu from the Class of 2018; and Anthony Felix from the Class of 2021.
The tenth installment of the annual alumni game, allowed for alumni to share their experiences with the current varsity team.
“It offered the alumni an opportunity to give back to the EC Soccer program and help prepare the varsity team for the rigors of the upcoming season,” Haezebrouck said.
