Hoxie, Ramlo pace Xavier boys’ soccer

CEDAR RAPIDS - In its quest to return to the state tournament, Xavier's boys' soccer team will be led by two key seniors who have committed to play collegiate soccer for two great programs.

Mason Hoxie has committed to Loras, Connor Ramlo to Creighton.

'I like the coaching staff and players at Loras, and they also have a really good soccer program,” Hoxie said. 'I wanted to play collegiate soccer at a high level so Loras was the right fit for me.”

Ramlo also likes the fit he found.

'I went to an elite camp at Creighton last summer, and I really liked the campus, the coaches and their state of the art facilities,” Ramlo said. 'The soccer team gets an incredible amount of support there. In early March, I took my official visit to Creighton and felt it was a good fit for me both academically and athletically.”

The Saints host North Scott on tonight.
