The Hispanic Heritage Month observance at the Army Logistics University here featured an unprecedented soccer match between international and Army Bsic Officer Leader Course students. The international team won the match 2-1. (ABOVE) Army goalkeeper 2nd Lt. Eric Reder, Ordnance BOLC 13-018, returns the ball into play after an unsuccessful attempt by the international students.

U.S. Army player 2nd Lt. Elaine Altman, Transportation BOLC 13-008, tries to keep the ball away from international student Capt. Faton Muhaxheri, Kosovo Army. Due to heavy rainfall during the week, the field was saturated with water puddles, making the match especially difficult.
