On a beautiful Friday night in Minneapolis, with The Citizens in the stands, the Crows of Minneapolis City SC kicked off their 2017 season with a friendly against the University of Minnesota Men’s club soccer team at Edor Nelson Field on the campus of Augsburg College. City was a bit short-staffed on the pitch compared to a normal night as quite a few players on the roster are still playing with their colleges and both former pros, Dan O’Brien (injury) and Brian Kallman were out for the night.
The match was played to benefit the Gophers, who recently lost funding from the University of Minnesota.
