I am very disappointed that the Beacon Journal did not do a pre season article on the 12th ranked soccer zips. Would have been nice to get some local press...and maybe put a few more fans in the seats Thursday night. Hopefully, they send a reporter to tomorrow's game.

Dayton is going to be a challenging first game. They are picked to finish 2nd in the Atlantic 10 and 3 of their players were selected to the pre season All League team. https://atlantic10.com/news/2026/8/17/saint-louis-picked-unanimous-mens-soccer-favorite-ahead-of-2026-campaign.aspx
