Vuk Janicic Battles Injury The team’s leading scorer in 2011, Novak Vuk Janicic, was set to form a lethal offensive duo with Glenroy Miller, who had sat out the 2011 season, but Vuk Janicic injured his hamstring during the team’s season-opening 5-1 win over Cincinnati State. The injury lingered on and off all
season, and things were never the same as they were in the team’s opening game.
Memorable Moments Despite the injury to Vuk Janicic, the team got 26 goals from Miller and 16 assists from Webber. As a team, the Express was 1-0-1 against a key rival, Schoolcraft College, with the win coming on the road as Schoolcraft was ranked 5th in the nation. Miller provided the game’s lone goal on a free kick. Additionally, the team produced eight shutouts, including back-to-back shutouts
to win the Lincoln Land tournament, and Miller scored the game winning goal in teh 84th minute to capture an exciting home win over Muskegon Community College in October.
Key Freshmen Goalkeeper Joshua Kleinow, midfielders Vijay Gentles and Jacob Martin and defenders Troy Watson and Odaine Edwards formed a solid nucleus of freshmen in 2012. All those players except Edwards returned to help the Express in 2013.

Express Alumni Scrimmage Head coach Art Johnson and the Express men’s soccer program host an alumni scrimmage each fall before the regular season starts, and the event has been a popular attraction. Players from the first few years of the program to players from last season’s team have taken part in the event over the past few years. In the photos on the page, you can see who participated in 2013 (top left), 2012 (top right) and 2011 (bottom right). On the next three pages, you will see some action photos from the past three alumni scrimmages. Hope you enjoy - Go Express!

OWENS EXPRESS MEN’S SOCCER Backpack to the Future This fall, several members of the Express men’s soccer team, as well as the coaching staff, helped the Owens Alumni Association deliver backpacks and school supplies to children in the local Toledo area. The Owens Community College Alumni Association, in collaboration with two Books-A-Million Inc. locations, nine Directions Credit Union branches, two Great Lakes Credit Union branches and five Genoa Bank branches, are brightening many children’s lives through a unique community service endeavor titled “Backpack to the Future.” Five hundred twenty-nine backpacks and 8,130 school supply items collected throughout the summer months were donated to 17 area elementary schools during the month of September. Owens representatives delivered backpacks and supplies to benefit kindergarten students in Bowling Green, North Baltimore, Elmwood, Eastwood, Rossford, Northwood, Genoa and Woodmore school districts at Rossford’s Glenwood Elementary School, as well as to five Toledo Public Schools - Old West End Academy, Samuel M. Jones at Gunckel Park, East Broadway, McTigue and Edgewater elementary schools, presented at Toledo Public Schools’ Old West End Elementary School. Over the past three months, “Backpack to the Future” accepted gently used or new backpacks and new school supplies from area residents to assist disadvantaged school children throughout Northwest Ohio. In addition to backpacks, individuals donated crayons, markers, bottles of glue, glue sticks, colored pencils, pencils, pink erasers, school boxes, pocket folders, marbled covered composition books and Kleenex tissues. The drive also collected over $3,433 from community members. The charitable donations will go toward the purchase of school supplies. The Owens Alumni Association established “Backpack to the Future” supply drive in 2004 as a way to provide educational outreach to the surrounding communities. To date, the program has given over 3,410 backpacks and more than 62,370 school supplies to benefit disadvantaged children throughout Northwest Ohio. Here are some photos of this year’s event.
