Men's Soccer Hosts Alumni Game, Honors 1959 "Bandit Wall"

HAVERFORD, Pa. - The Haverford College men's soccer program was excited to welcome back nearly 40 alumni this past weekend for its annual Alumni Game. This year marked a particularly special occasion for the team as the Fords celebrated the 60th anniversary of the 1959 team which earned the nickname "The Bandit Wall."

With the 2019 season now just days away, the varsity and alumni Fords engaged in a competitive and spirited contest that ended a hard-fought and an extremely competitive 3-2 victory for the varsity.
