New Beginnings

Saturday, April 20th, marked the beginning of a new soccer season in the premier division of the Utah Soccer Association.

Kodiak FC is a brand new club in the premier division coached by Bob Capener and managed by Stephen Phillips and Taylor Hyde, with assistant managers Mike Erekson and Greg Phillips.  Kodiak FC is very grateful for their sponsor, Kodiak America Homes.

At Saturday's game, the team showed up early, portraying their dedication and excitement for the new season.  After many weeks of preseason training and fitness, the team was ready to get on the field and start seeing some positive results, which they did.

Scott Burrows found the back of the net twice during the game.  One of which was off of a free kick, won by Parker Howell.  The other goal was a one-touch volley off of the right foot.  The assist came from Josh Kimball.  Stephen Phillips was the final goal scorer of the game, carried the ball from the right side of the pitch and found nothing but net.  Everyone had a fantastic game.  Rock Christeson, Kodiak's goalkeeper, started out the season with a shutout, which has not been an easy task for other teams in previous seasons against OM.

The team is optimistic that they can continue to work on fitness, train, and build a unique and dynamic team chemistry.

We are all looking forward to the next game, Saturday April 27th, at 10am against Mutiny FC at Alta High School.
