Cowboys Find Form as Midseason Hits
The Connors State Cowboys soccer team is finding some form as the midpoint in the season hits.

Highlights of the season include the program's first official goal scored by freshman Ransford Manu in the team's first game against Ozarks. Other scoring highlights included the program's first hat trick coming from 3 goals by Yaw Frimpong against Rich Mountain. The scoring leaders of the team are Yaw Frimpong with 6 goals, Ransford Manu with 2 goals, with Christian Herrera and Alvaro Pradillo each having 1 goal. For assists, David Manresa, Ransford Manu, Anthony Monajjem, Alvaro Pradillo, and Santiago Rubio each have 1 assist.
"We are in an excellent spot halfway through the season. Right now we are in a playoff spot and really starting to find some form. Defensively we are tight and not giving up many goals and we are starting to find our feet when it comes to goal scoring with Yaw Frimpong really stepping up the past few games. Our captains, Chris Drysdale and Santiago Rubio have really got the whole teal to buy in and have lead the team in a very positive manner. I think we will continue to take step forward with this group as we continue to fight to make the playoffs. It has been a pleasure to have this group of young men come together in he past 2 months and make such an impact right away." - Head Coach Adam Skolnick
