The 2-0-0 Golden Eagles are set to continue their season with their first multi-game week as they will travel to Lawrence Tech on Tuesday and host Siena Heights on Friday for a pair of WHAC Contests. The highlight of the week will be Friday's game in which the team will be hosting a buy one give one night crazy sock night through a partnership with Friendship Sports International. Sky Outfitters socks and T-Shirts will be sold throughout the week and for every item purchased, a pair of thermal socks will be given to Mel Trotter Ministries here in Grand Rapids to support homeless in need as we head into a winter season. Athletes from both the men's and women's soccer teams will be delivering these socks to Mel Trotter at a date to be determined in November.
