We are excited to present our first Alumni Newsletter: Inside Marra with St. Bonaventure Men’s Soccer. Our staff is delighted to kick off our improved communication to our Bonnies faithful! We will mix newsletters and Zoom calls throughout the year to engage our supporters.
First and most important, our staff wants to thank everyone for their patience and support this past Fall season. Different challenges presented themselves routinely, but we are beyond fortunate to have had so many conversations and make a lot of connections in our first few months here.
When looking at the Fall, our student-athletes battled from August all the way through November. Just shy of three months filled with lifelong memories, hard lessons learned, and growth made both individually and collectively. While the results are nowhere near the standards and expectations of what we demand internally, the program made positive strides forward. We are striving for a Culture of Excellence. Finding excellence, we need to learn how to compete on a consistent basis. This means we are in the phase of creating a Culture of Competitiveness internally centered how small details add up to elite level performances. Everything matters when you are a true competitor starting with the smallest details. Our group has truly embraced this mindset and while not perfect yet, we have made positive growth.
This year’s squad accumulated 67 points, 23 goals scored from 11 different goal-scorers, 21 assists, 43.6 shots on-goal percentage, four clean sheets and were 3-for-3 on penalty kicks.
