Drew Rynders #18 Drew Rynders #18: My favorite moment was beating number three Nationally Ranked Hannibal La-Grange my junior year while starting and having an assist during the game.

 

JT Nankervis #16: My favorite memory would be my first college goal during the 2009 preseason to take the lead against Illinois Wesleyan 2-1. Unfortunately we would tie the game, but the feeling of satisfaction and excitement of scoring infront of the home crowd is priceless. I will miss playing under the lights at Kiwanis.

Jeremy Carnes #0 Jeremy Carnes #0: My favorite UIS soccer memories were listening to Milt’s stories week after week and the stories never changing but the year it happened never staying the same. Also, killing the time in between games at the hotel with your average game of dice rolling. Finally, my last favorite memory was going to the nation’s largest Bass Pro Shop and half the team getting $2 Bass Pro Hats. Go team Bass Pro!

with all types of various people, and exchanging blows with Milton.

Anthony Longo #21 Anthony Longo #21: My favorite moments were scoring my first college goal in the first game that I played in and becoming captain senior year.

 

Brian Doellman #22: My favorite memories would be scoring a game tying goal in my first college game at my hometown in Quincy. Also, being tricked by the coaches that we had to run as punishment for not bringing all the balls to practice during two-a-days and instead they gave us watermelon as a reward for having such a great week of practice. And lastly, getting our Bass Pro Shop hats! Brian Doellman #22
