Saint Martin’s and Evergreen squared off today at SMU Soccer Field and both teams fought extremely hard in the first half for what was just a preseason scrimmage. Since it is against NCAA rules to report stats or scores from scrimmages, no final score was reported, but I did see one goal scored by Saint Martin’s in the half that I watched.
