Callum John Drysdale Squires has a name that couldn’t allow him to show his Englishness if he wanted. So how did this Englishman end up in San Antonio, Texas for college? The answer is soccer.

He wanted to keep playing soccer. 

“America is crazy about college sports. It’s just such a big culture here, which is weird because no one cares about college sports back home,” says Squires, a junior majoring in German Studies. “They aren’t really even a thing. So when I wanted to keep competitively playing the sport, America was the logical choice.”

SAFC’s starting 11, including former Colorado Rapids midfielder Carlos Alvarez, former San Antonio Scorpion midfielder, Rafael Castillo and Chicago Fire defender, Greg Cochrane, presented a formidable obstacle to the Tigers early on in the match under the lights of Toyota Field.

The Tigers conceded their first goal of the match in the 35th minute as SAFC’s Michael Reed drove home Bobby Moseley’s well struck cross with a header into the back of Trinity's net.
