Due to a number of factors (Title IX, SOU having football and wrestling, limited budget, etc.) SOU has a Women’s Soccer Team but no Men’s Soccer Team (or baseball). However, there are various club sports like lacrosse, rugby, and men’s soccer.

I witnessed my first SOU Men’s Soccer Club game this past Sunday at U.S. Cellular field in Medford. Southern Oregon University beat Western Oregon University (Monmouth) 4-0. The third goal went like this…

The hare built up a lead and …

… decided to take a nap.

But the hare’s last leap was just too late, for the tortoise had beaten him to the winning post. Poor hare! Tired and in disgrace, he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him.

It’s not too late to sign up for this year’s Monster Dash to benefit the Ashland School’s Foundation. Race day this year is October 26.
