Maddie Revercomb, midfielder, said the team worked toward the goals they set before the season.

“We improved a lot on becoming more confident as a team and offensively created a lot more opportunities in games toward the end of the season,” Revercomb said.

“Our first year in the NCAA Division II, we had a number of successes: qualifying for the play offs, beating Davenport University for the first time in school history, beating or drawing with every team in the GLIAC except for Saginaw Valley State University,” Hayes said.

Michael Brownsea, forward, was named All-GLIAC Men’s Soccer Honorable Mention.

Hayes said that the games for Division II are faster and stronger.

Both teams will be practicing in the winter and spring for the upcoming season.
