WNCC soccer teams to hold alumni scrimmages on Monday

The Western Nebraska Community College men’s and women’s soccer teams will hold alumni scrimmages on Monday to showcase the talent on this year’s teams.

WNCC soccer coach Todd Rasnic said there will be a lot of former Cougar players scheduled to come back and play in the scrimmages. The scrimmages will take place on the practice field at the Landers Soccer Complex. The women’s alumni game will kick off at 10:30 a.m., while the men’s alumni game will be held at 6:30 p.m.

The men’s and women’s soccer teams have been practicing for the upcoming season since Monday. Both teams hope to field competitive teams. The women return seven players from last season, while the men have five returners from a year ago.

After Monday’s alumni scrimmages, the two teams will have a scrimmage at Midland Lutheran in Fremont on Sunday, Aug. 15, followed by a scrimmage in Denver against Metro State on Aug. 20. The WNCC men and women will open the season for real on Fri., Aug. 27 when they host a weekend tournament. The men will face Monroe Community College at 2 p.m. and the women will face the Colorado Storm at noon at the Landers Soccer Complex.
