CIU Athletic Teams Prepare for Season, History

CIU Athletic Teams Prepare for Season, History

Goalie John Tellis makes a save.

The Columbia International University Rams soccer team is getting ready to make history.   Even though it’s a typical Columbia, S.C. summer – temperatures in the 90s and high humidity – the Rams have been on the practice field anticipating the first intercollegiate athletic contest in CIU’s 90-year history.   On Aug. 25, the Rams take on the Toccoa Falls Eagles on CIU’s new soccer field at 7 p.m.

Meanwhile, the CIU Cross Country squad is preparing for its first meet on Aug. 31.
