The Garnet men take on a team during a 45-minute match in the seaside town of Malia.
The Garnet Men's Soccer team is wrapping up their training trip to Greece and return to the U.S. this weekend. They played four matches: two while in Crete and two in Athens. They also had training sessions at the Ergotelis Academy in Crete and Athens' Arena Soccer Club. Game recaps are included in this blog.
The team also participated in a community service project during the Greece tour, spending an afternoon cleaning up the beach and forest of Skinias National Park, near Athens. Watch them display some of the new moves they learned on the trip.
