CSS Football gears up for MIAC’s second season

The St. Scholastica University football team attended their first practice of 2022 at St. Scholastica on Friday.

The CSS struggled to find a winning column in its inaugural season at the Minnesota Intercollegiate Conference last fall, but their core value of “living the norm” includes more than 40 new faces and two seniors are ready for reconstruction.

“We are not going to change anything we are doing now. We are going to stay on track. We are trying to control what we can control. MIAC is great as we know it It’s the league, we’ve experienced it firsthand, and we’re going to keep taking a step forward every day. That’s really the only thing we can worry about,” head coach Mike Heffernan said.

“Last year there was a lot of adversity with the new coaches and a lot of new players. Even further than that, they are following all of our standards,” added Senior Safety Jake Kukowski.

The Saints begin the season on September 3 with an out-of-state trip to visit new opponent Sewanee.
