As the Iowa Lakes Men’s and Women’s fall soccer season comes to an end let meet up with the coaches and find out what went well for this season.

“Our season was cancelled due to Covid,” Said Blake Viedenkamp head coach of the Women’s soccer team. “The fall season is the non competitive season.”

The season was supposed to start on the supposed to start on the 26th of September but due to Covid it was cancelled.

“We have some 17 new players on our team,” said Ben Macrae headcoach of the Men’s soccer team at Iowa Lakes. “We also have a returning number of 13 from last season.”

Viedenkamp later on said, “We have new and returning players from last season. Returning are Emily MacLeod, Daina Brazier , Danielle Grimmer , Sofia Hernandez , Norma Garcia. Who is new on the team are Isabella Burger, Laura Cardenas, Valentina Jiminez, Vanessa Hernandez, Melissa Fajardo, Cheyanne Fries, Abigail Thompson.”

“The spring season will be the competitive one. For the fall, it was just a great chance to go out there and play games that don’t necessarily count. A good chance to see everyone play. We also plan on seeing how we change over the winter months, see how we measure up to the rest of the teams in the conference.” Said Viedenkamp.

Macrae later on said, “We are hoping for a better season than what we had last year and we just want to keep improving and working together as a team. Last year the boys went 9-1 and we just want to keep improving from that.”

Both teams are hoping to restart up in the spring.
