The William Jewell men's soccer team opens the season this weekend with non-conference games beginning on Friday evening with Rogers State and followed by Harding on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals are coming off a 2018 season where they went 5-12 and 2-11 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, a two-win improvement over the previous season.
Jewell will be under the direction of first year head man
Eddie Horn who comes to The Hill from Missouri-Kansas City where he served as an assistant coach under William Jewell alumnus and Hall of Famer Chris Cissell, '94.
