Central soccer and volleyball teams began pre-season play this past weekend on the road. 

Soccer traveled to Denver and Salt Lake for a pair of scrimmages against D2 schools.   Thursday, the boys fell 0-4 and the girls lost 0-2 to Colorado Christian.   Saturday they were in Salt Lake.  The men's team lost 0-1 to Westminster College while the women's match was scrimmage play only and no scores were kept.   Coach Steven Harrison played pretty much the entire roster in all four matches, "It was good to play NCAA D-2 competition in these scrimmages.   The speed of play and the physicality were good for our players."  

Central Soccer opens its regular season in Nebraska this weekend.  The men and women will take on Southeast Community College in Beatrice on Friday, then play Central Community College in Columbus on Saturday.
