Soccerbills Receive Honors

The SLUH soccer team displayed impressive teamwork throughout the season, finishing with a 26-4-3 record and nearly taking the state championship in a hard-fought title game versus Rockhurst. Complementing the team's success, individual players have received accolades for their performance. Tommy Meyer was recently named an All-American, and Jack Twellman earned All-Midwest honors.

"This is one of the finest teams I have coached here at SLUH," says coach Charlie Martel. "They played at a high level all year. They allowed only ten goals all season and scored more than three goals a game. They proved to be a very difficult team to beat and had a superb season."

Senior Tommy Meyer, who starred on the Jr. Bills' squad as a defender, has played on the U.S. Under 17 Men's National Soccer Team for the past few years. He traveled to South Korea with the National Team during the summer to compete in the Youth World Cup and made significant contributions to the team during the tournament. Meyer plans to continue grooming his talent next year when he joins a renowned Indiana University soccer program.

Senior Jack Twellman spearheaded the Jr. Bills' attack as a midfielder with impressive speed, finishing and decision-making. He led the team in points with 17 goals and 22 assists, an achievement that placed him second overall in scoring in the Metro Catholic Conference.

In addition to their national recognition, both Meyer and Twellman were voted First Team All-Metro and First Team All Metro Catholic Conference.
