Comment worth repeating…
I’m so glad the Red & White Match has made it’s return! I played soccer at RMC all four years and this event was always one of the highlights. There were many times that it felt like the women’s program were playing second fiddle to other varsity teams The support of the Ex-Cadets did much to erase that feeling, and certainly made me feel like we were a special bunch.
If I haven’t said it before, I’d like to send a big thank you out to the gentlemen Ex-Cadets who showed us how to have a good time on and off the pitch. Their support was very much appreciated. I look forward to playing next year in my 10 year reunion.
