The ��«����Ƶ women's soccer team started strong against traditional powerhouse Richland JC on Friday night in Dallas. The Eagles kept pace with the Thunderducks scoring off of a free-kick to keep the score close throughout much of the first half.  The Eagles could not get over the hump despite making it a contest in the first half and keeping the score a respectable 3-1. Eventually, the Thunderducks would round into form and put the game away in the 2nd half, taking home a 7-1 victory in the season opener for both clubs.

The ��«����Ƶ Business Club recently had the opportunity to see business principles at work in the real world on a travel study trip to Boston.
