Westmont Soccer Game - Update

Join us this Saturday at 7 p.m. at UC Santa Barbara's Harder Stadium to show your support for your Westmont family. Days after losing his own home to the Tea Fire, Coach Dave Wolf took his team, some of whom had nothing left but the clothes on their backs, to Azusa, where they won the Golden State Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Championship on Monday with a 2-0 victory over No. 5 Azusa Pacific. The article in the LA Times captured the hardship and healing in their victory. Now the 24th-ranked Westmont Warriors have turned their attention to the 2008 NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship opening round. The Warriors (10-6-2) will host Holy Names from the Bay Area Saturday in a 7 p.m. game at UC Santa Barbara's Harder Stadium.

"Your support will mean a great deal to our Warriors!" says President Gayle D. Beebe. "The energy at the Azusa Pacific game on Monday was a big factor in the Westmont victory. I know you will enjoy the article in Tuesday's L.A. Times by Pulitzer Prize winner Bill Plaschke."

Westmont will use the opportunity to say, "Thank you," to the Santa Barbara community for all the help, support and compassion it has received in response to the Tea Fire, which swept through campus on Thursday evening. In addition to offering free admission, the Warriors plan to honor some of the people who worked to protect not only the Westmont campus but the communities of Montecito and Santa Barbara.

Please make plans to be there and support the team and the college. This is our chance to come together as the Westmont family to cheer for students while showing our community what it means to have a solid foundation in Jesus Christ.

We hope you will join us there!
