The men's team lost 3-0 to Ottawa Oct.28. Jason Bond, junior defense, said, "Ottawa was a good quality team that had a lot of strong athletes. They had a lot speed, plus a lot more subs, then we had. It's tough not having many subs, if any at all and trying to keep up with our opponent for 90 minutes. I think not having many subs really affects our team during a game."

The women's team lost 2-0 to Friends Oct. 24. The Falcons scored once in the first half and then once in the second half.
Wood said, "The Friends game was a special game because it was senior day. We recognized two seniors, Kerry Sonnenburg and Rene Schwan. It was a very winnable game, but unfortunately we could not put anything in the back of the net."

The men's team lost 2-1 to Friends Oct. 24. Andrew Bonvehi, senior forward, scored the only goal for the Builders. Bonvehi scored the first goal of the game. The Builders took the Falcons into overtime but the Falcons scored the winning goal.

Bond said, "I thought the Friends game was a really good game and effort by the team. Our midfielders really stepped it up and played great. Also Daniel Forsyth, goalie, made a lot of saves which helped save us."

The women's team lost to McPherson College 1-0 Oct. 21. Wood said, "I was not at the game due to being sick, but assistant coach, Kate Norton ran the team. I know the conditions of the game were not great. Officials talked of post-ponning the game due to the storm, but decided to play it anyways. From what I was told by the girls, it was a very winnable game. Apparently their was a situation when McPherson scored. Since I was not there, I do not know specific details over it. All I know is the ball went out of bounds, but they continued to play it and that's how they scored."

The men's team lost 8-1 to McPherson College Oct. 21. Shane Nieses, senior forward, scored the only goal for the Builders.

Bond said, "The game really should have been closer than it was. The game started out not so bad but then we scored on ourselves. The ball bounced off one of our own players and went in. Then the second goal we just didn't close them down fast enough. It just seemed to continue throughout the game. Our midfielders don't stop running and it makes it tough after 45 minutes to continue mentally. McPherson was just a really attacking team and as a team we really miscomunicated when it came to shutting them down."
