Correal's signed NLI-
May 8, 2020 |
Correal has been the starting goalkeeper for the Bulldogs for the past two seasons, helping the Dogs earn a tournament berth in the 2018 season as the team came up just short in the race for the Davenport title. This past year, he made a huge personal/playing sacrifice and split duties as a goalkeeper and a field player. This really captured Alejandro's selfless leadership of this year's team. Alejandro's soccer IQ and athleticism is through the roof and his ability to make things happen while playing on the field is only surpassed by his talent in goal. He plans on focusing on his true passion- goalkeeping- as he heads to St. Anselm this August.

The St. Anselm Hawks compete in the NE10 Conference and are an NCAA D2 program. The team is coached by
Bruno Victal who took over the Hawks in 2016 and has overseen a resurgence in the program.
Alejandro had this to say upon his signing-
"The past four years at CHS have prepared me for this opportunity. My teammates, Coach Erickson and all of the other coaches have been key figures in my high school career and CHS Soccer will forever be a part of me. With that being said, St. A's has given me this huge opportunity and I'm very excited to make the most out of the next four years!"

Danny Erickson-
St. A's Hawk 1989 |
The feeling from the CHS Boys Soccer program is mutual. We will continue to support Hondo as he takes this big step in his soccer and life journey. We will always be proud to call him a CHS Soccer alumnus.
On a personal note- I played soccer for the Hawks in 1989 and 1990. It is a great place to go to school and to play soccer. Those seasons helped solidify a love of soccer in me that continues today. From one Hawk/Bulldog to another- I wish all the best for Alejandro as he launches his St. Anselm soccer journey. He is going to do great!
I included a picture of me in action in 1989 at St. A's as I thought it could provide some laughs! Yup- that's Coach Erickson. We didn't put as much emphasis on getting in the weight room back then!
