The Blazers put together two seven-game winning streaks in 2013, and made it to the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament before their season ended. Senior Colleen Bouchard capped off a stellar career with NCAA Division III All-American honors. Bouchard, Megan Lenz, Peggy Renier and Grace Vaughan earned All-MIAC accolades, and Bouchard, Renier and Lenz were named AllRegion. Kimble’s Blazers are the only team to make the MIAC playoffs in each of the past four seasons. Kimble took over as head coach at St. Ben’s in 2009 and guided the team to a 107-1 record. In 2010, the Blazers took third in the MIAC, and in his third season at the helm in 2011, Kimble led CSB to MIAC regular-season and tournament titles. He was named the MIAC and NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year. That same year, the Blazers advanced to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA National Tournament. At the end of the season, Kimble was selected as the head coach of the USA DIII All-Star team that toured in Brazil. The Blazers finished 7-6-4 in 2012 and made the MIAC tournament. That season, they were the only team in the MIAC to score in every regular-season game.

BLAZER SOCCER
The Blazer Soccer Tradition The College of Saint Benedict soccer program is one of the strongest women’s soccer traditions in the Midwest. The Blazers have put together 25 straight winning seasons, with their last non-winning effort coming in 1988. The Blazers have also earned 21 top-four conference finishes in the last 23 years. Saint Benedict has long been a top choice for talented young female soccer players that want a lot out of college. St. Ben’s offers some of the best soccer in the Midwest, a premier education and an unforgetable college experience. Do not underestimate the Division III model. Our athletes can study pre-professional programs, study abroad and be involved in other activities. They can take a full credit load every semester without the worry of missing an extensive amount of class. St. Ben’s student-athletes average a 3.40 GPA, which exceeds the student body average of 3.28. As a whole, St. Ben’s students graduate in four years, and often have jobs or graduate school acceptance early in their senior year. The College of Saint Benedict experience and the soccer tradition are definitely worth looking into.
