Webber's Head Men's Soccer Coach Neil Cockburn said, "This could be one of the toughest Warner teams we will play since my 11 years at Webber. Warner Coach Drew Stacey has done a terrific job of rebuilding the program and is doing well this season, so it's not going to be easy to beat them. However, we are doing well ourselves, we have a fighting attitude and the boys are performing in practice and games. We have the talent and the passion to win the game."

In addition to this Saturday's nonconference meeting between the two teams, Webber and Warner will meet again in 2018 for a Sun Conference tilt in just two weeks on Saturday, September 29, at 10 a.m. on Webber's home field in Babson Park, Florida.
