| September 16, 2026. MVC SET FOR TWO MATCHES THIS WEEKEND. The Hurricanes will make the trek east on Interstate 90 to Spokane for a pair of weekend matches this weekend. The two non-league matches will both be played on the campus field at Saint George’s School. On Friday, September 18, the Hurricanes will face Chesterton Academy of Notre Dame (3-0-0) at 4:30PM. This is the first match all-time with the Knights, who are in just their second season of playing WIAA boys’ soccer. The school first opened in 2020. MVC’s Saturday, September 19 match will have a Noon start with Saint George’s School (2-2-0). The Dragons and Hurricanes met last season in the 1B/2B State Semi-Finals. Saint George’s graduated eight seniors from that squad and have had some early season injuries thus far. The Knights and Dragons played this evening at Spokane’s HUB Sports Complex with Chesterton Academy defeating Saint George’s, 6-0. |
| September 11, 2026. MVC Earn Shutout Win. An afternoon ferry ride to San Juan Island was the start of what turned out to be an enjoyable trip and soccer match today for the Hurricanes. After a scoreless first half with Friday Harbor and an additional 25 minutes of the second half action, MVC scored the lone goal of the match, and went on to collect a 1-0 win over the Wolverines on Linde Community Field.

| September 6, 2026. Questions and Answers with Coach Wohlgemuth. Before their initial season opening, non-league matches this Thursday (in Bothell v. Providence Classical Christian) and Friday (on San Juan Island v. Friday Harbor), Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth took time to provide a bit of insight about the 2026 season. The Q and A with the MVC coach, who enters his eighth season at the helm, follows: How has the team chemistry or leadership been during the preseason? Losing two distinct and vocal leaders has been very evident, but we have a good group of guys who are stepping up and using their God-given talents to lead the team this season. Who are your top returning starters and key players to watch? I can’t begin to list individuals because I feel like I would need to mention every returner. All four starting defenders return and they led a defense that gave up less than a goal a game. Three or four starting midfielders return and they are very, very strong, along with two forwards with extensive experience. We also have a number of others who will be stepping up and into spots this season. What are the team goals for this season? For as long as I have the blessing of being the coach of MVC, my sole focus will be on helping to shape the next generation of husbands, fathers, and community members. We will grow in our faith and leadership, and will use soccer as the conduit for accomplishing that goal. But make no mistake – I am competitive and I lead a group of very competitive athletes. Our on-field goal is the state championship, each and every year. I believe we have the young men to achieve that goal. What key areas have been the focus of attention during the preseason turnouts thus far? Our defense is stout and experienced. We are focused on continuing the legacy of masking the other team out of our goal and have spent a large amount of time on attacks and the final third. What do you see are the team’s biggest strengths this year? Our strength is that we are very well-rounded. Our defense should be a strength, but I believe our midfield and forward group are as good as any in the state. What are you planning as your tactical identity or style of play this season? We have talented players in the middle and final third of the field who can dominate. Some of these young men have been playing together for ten years and their chemistry is evident. We will have the ability to strike quickly and with precision, as well as methodically and with patience. Who do you see as the main schools as being most competitive this season in the league and from around the State? As per usual, Orcas Island and Friday Harbor will be very competitive within our league. Providence Classical Christian and Lopez Island should also be strong. It will be a good test to see Saint George’s (Spokane) early, and beyond that, I think it’s a wait and see. What areas do you need to improve most on during the non-league matches before your first league/district match? Chemistry, communication, and camaraderie will be a focus, as will strengthening our keeper position. What are you most looking to or most excited about from the squad this season? This is a group who I’ve coached, mentored, and have been very close family with for several years. I’ve got three of my own boys on the team, but they all feel like family. They compete, they love, and they’re wonderful young men. What do you want MVC boys’ soccer program supporters to know and be reminded about regarding the upcoming season? Every year and every group has the responsibility and opportunity to add to the legacy that has been established by each group before them, and we’re proud and honored to have the chance to continue that tradition. |
| Wednesday, August 19. 2026 BOYS’ SOCCER SEASON NEARS Head Coach Jeremiah Wohlgemuth will put this year’s Hurricanes through 2½ weeks of training, conditioning, and technical workouts beginning next Monday, August 24 in preparation for the upcoming 2026 boys’ soccer season. Wohlgemuth is expecting to greet 25 participants, who will be contending for Varsity roster spots. MVC graduated the goal scoring of forward Sean Russell, the unwavering presence and leadership of midfielder Lane Tenborg, the strong in-net play of goalkeeper Logan Mounts, and the energy and eagerness of reserve Aaron Tueitjer. Despite those departures from last season’s strong Third-Place State 1B/2B finish, Coach Wohlgemuth eagerly welcomes back eight Varsity starters and ten other players from the 2025 roster, along with a handful of talented incoming participants. The Hurricanes should find themselves among just a handful of top-tier schools statewide again this fall. Wohlgemuth and his players most likely be spending preseason turnouts getting comfortable in a variety of positions, while again developing a cohesiveness, and adding depth among the team’s reserves before their non-league season opener on September 10. “While it might be convenient to lament over the quality of student-athletes we lost to graduation, we return a well-rounded group of young men ready and able to step up with continued success and achievement,” Wohlgemuth recently shared. Last spring, the ten soccer schools that make up WIAA’s District One decided to adjust their approach to non-league matches between themselves. This fall, the top five schools over the past two seasons – Orcas Island, MVC, Friday Harbor, Lopez Island, and Providence Classical Christian will play one another as part of their non-league schedules. The other five schools – Coupeville, La Conner, Grace Academy, Cedar Park Christian-Lynnwood, and Evangel Classical School will do the same among themselves. Thus far, MVC also has a non-league match schedule in Spokane with Saint George’s. Non-League matches will happen September 10-26. During the last days of September through late October, MVC will face all nine of the District One schools in matches that will count toward postseason seeding into the combined Northwest District One/Sea-Tac District Two Tournament, which begins the first week of November. Another change that spectators will see on the field is how matches conclude. There will be no more overtimes or shootouts during any soccer matches until the postseason. This aligns the Northwest League/District One with the majority of WIAA soccer leagues in all classifications, NFHS, and the NCAA. The change is designed to prioritize player health, reduce cumulative physical fatigue, injury risks, and accept that a hard-fought draw is a valid outcome after regulation time. Both actions (the District One realignment of non-league matches and adopting the way matches end), should also have a positive impact on RPI rankings. When asked about these soccer tweaks, Wohlgemuth said, “Change is good. At least in this case, aligning with other districts and associations is a positive move towards cohesion, and the adjusted approach to the league schedule is a great way to ensure for better competitions for all the member schools.” |
