PROVO, Utah (Oct. 23, 2009) — Some of the legends of yesteryear were on display Friday night as the BYU alumni fielded two teams against Utah Valley.

The BYU alumni split in two games with Utah Valley on Friday night at the Stadium at South Field.

The “Fresh Legs” alumni team lost 1-0 to Utah Valley during the 6:30 p.m. game and the “Weight Watchers” Alumni team pounded the Utah Valley alumni team, 3-0 in the night cap.

The alumni appreciate the experience and are proud to be a part of the BYU men’s soccer tradition.

“It’s incredible,” said former player, Devin Dahl. “It’s fun to see this stadium. It’s fun to see the team and how they’ve progressed in the league that they’re in and to be a part of an organization that started with a bunch of guys that liked to play soccer and formed a club team.”

“A lot of these guys here tonight, we used to travel in 15-passenger vans,” said former player and assistant coach, Brian Jolley. “We would stay with members. We would travel 12-14 hours, playing game after game and now to see them traveling internationally, representing the university, the church in not just the country but the world. It’s amazing to see how far the program’s come and to see the potential for the future.”

Saturday the two alumni teams will mix and play each other at 1 p.m. on Haws Field. Admission is free.
