Today's game marked the 10-year anniversary of the 1999 Warhawk men's soccer team that made it to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Division III tournament.  Three members from that team were in attendance and recognized at halftime.  The game also honored men's soccer alumni with several past players in attendance also being recognized at halftime.

The 'Hawks have a week off until their next game when they travel to North Park University in Chicago, Illinois for a 1:00 match.  The Warhawks have only two remaining home games on their schedule, the first on October 21 against Principia College and the second on October 27 against Northwood University.
