ALMA MEN'S SOCCER DEFEATS KALAMAZOO 2-1

Alma's Men Soccer team continued its MIAA season on Saturday whey they traveled to Kalamazoo to take on the Hornets. The Scots came away with a 2-1 victory and now have a tie and a win in their last two games. For the season, Alma is now 2-9-1 in league action and 3-13-1 overall.

The Scots have two games remaining in the 2008 season - Olivet College on the road on Wednesday and the finale next Saturday when Alma hosts Hope College at Scotland Yard.

 

In the more than 100 years since its founding, Alma has stayed true to its roots by keeping its Scottish heritage alive. Today, Alma features a marching band clad in Kilts, a Scottish dance troupe, student pipers and its own tartan. Each year, the College hosts the Alma Highland Festival and Games, which feature traditional Scottish games and revelry.
