Euro Trip 2008 Canceled

The European Trip for 2008 has been canceled due to a lack of interest amongst our prospective players. Thanks to those who had committed, but I had to let Harvard Sports Management know something via phone this afternoon.

Players that are still interested in making a European Tour in 2008 should contact Coach Will Eudy (will@scsoccer.com) at Cardinal Newman High School and their trip to England/Scotland next summer. Coach Eudy is a former Bearcat team captain (2005) and assistant coach (1998-2005).
