Soccer Classic
ACM's 50th Anniversary celebration got off to a rousing start over Labor Day weekend with a soccer tournament featuring six women’s teams and seven men’s teams from Carleton, Colorado, Lake Forest, Lawrence, Macalester, Ripon, and St. Olaf.
“Competition and Collaboration: 1958-2008” was the theme for the ACM 50th Anniversary Invitational Soccer Classic, a tribute to the consortium’s focus on academic collaboration among the member institutions and a reminder that the ten colleges that founded ACM were members of the same athletic conference.
The games, which opened the seasons for all the teams, were hosted by Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and Carleton College and St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN on August 29-31, 2008.
