Fall means back-to-school, changing leaves, and college athletics, and MCC-Maple Woods is no exception. The men’s and women’s soccer teams are back in action for their third season in the National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA), Region 16. The men are currently sitting at 0-2-1 and the women are currently at 4-1-0.
With a 29-man roster, the men’s soccer team is versatile and built to deal with a variety of offensive and defensive strategies. Todd Logan, head coach and currently director of coaching for the Futura Futbol Club, said he is focusing on fundamentals early and building team chemistry. The men’s soccer team is also one of the most diverse organizations at Maple Woods, with seven international players from as far away as Sweden, Brazil, England, Wales and Scotland.
The women’s soccer team is off to a fast start this season, winning four of their first five games. Head coach Timo Kibune, a former Kenya Premier League player and director of coaching for the KC Select Club, has assembled a roster of 15 girls from the local area. The team’s offense has excelled, scoring 21 goals over the course of five games while the defense allowed only two.
Both the men’s and women’s teams play all home games at Happy Rock Park in Gladstone, Mo. All games are free and open to the public.
