Two of Gilbert Soccer Club’s ’91 alumni, having played 8 years with each other as teammates, met on a grassy field high in the mountains of Colorado on a warm Friday afternoon this September.  

Separated by nearly 1200 miles, the sophomore at St. Cloud in Minnesota, and the freshman, new to the college soccer scene at Fort Lewis, walked onto the pitch this day in Durango as competitors, one in black the other in white, there was no teal in sight.  

Their love of the game and spirit of play could be seen throughout the day, but the friendship they built while playing with their Arsenal team, will be felt forever, no matter what color uniform they wear.
