Cam­pus Ac­tiv­i­ties and Men’s Soc­cer Host Kick­off Mad­ness

MISHAWAKA- On Thurs­day, Au­gust 25, 2022, Kick­off Mad­ness was held at Morey Field. This event was planned by Al­li­son Nicholas, the new stu­dent ac­tiv­i­ties and com­mu­ni­ca­tion co­or­di­na­tor, along with Thi­ago Pinto, head soc­cer coach for the men’s soc­cer team.  

This event was for the men’s soc­cer team’s home opener. The team in­vited the chil­dren of Bethel Uni­ver­sity staff to walk out with the team at 6:45 p.m. Other plans for the event in­cluded a frozen drink ma­chine for the stu­dents, a game of net ball, a game at half time, and other ac­tiv­i­ties led by the school’s stu­dent sec­tion, The Wiekamp Wackos. 

Al­li­son Nicholas said that the first home soc­cer game is usu­ally dur­ing Wel­come Week, so they wanted to cre­ate some ex­cite­ment around this change in the sched­ule.  

The team also gave out gift cards and soc­cer team gear to the win­ner of the half time game.
