Men's Soccer Home Opener Game Win Against Harvard

        This year's Men's Soccer Home Opener was one of the most exciting events of the season! The evening began with a pregame RedZone BBQ. For those who don't know, St. John's RedZone is a group of STJ students who attend sports games together to cheer on their teams in a "student section." They also sponsor different game-related events, such as the BBQ before the Home Opener on Friday, September 9. At the BBQ, students enjoyed burgers at Belson Court with a giant inflatable Johnny Thunderbird behind them.

        This soccer game was thrilling to me not only because I was excited to see the 'Johnnies' take on Harvard, but because it was also my first night playing my flute in the St. John's Pep Band! As there was not a flute section yet, I was the only one that night, but was so happy to see how welcoming the band members were to me. Creating the perfect ending to the night, we beat Harvard 2-0.
