The B1G home opener and the 9th Annual Mack Brady Match against Northwestern was on Friday, September 17 and the team is now 6-1-2 in Mack Matches after their 2-1 victory over NW!
We want to thank the State College Celtics for hosting a wonderful pre-game tailgate, Bree and Aaron with Penn State Athletics and PSU Men’s Soccer for the amazing hospitality and continuing to keep Mack’s dream alive and celebrating his life with us. We also honored Dan Sheerin by reading his poem “Mack Brady Keepers” at the half.

William Morris wrote “Fellowship is heaven.” I could not think of a better quote when I look at this group of amazing women and friends. It is a honor to share life, loss, and love with Eve, Danielle, Frannie, Monique, Sue, and their sons, Mack’s teammates and friends. 
Before the game begins, the emcee reads Mack’s story and how the Mack Brady Match came to be. We are grateful to be here to share in Mack’s legacy of sport, friendship, and joy. 
We were honorary team captians, C tossed for Penn State! 
The wonderful Park Avenue Army student fan section! 
This little boy kept bopping the girl in front of him on the head with the Mack Brady thundersticks! I was tickled watching the exchange, it reminded me of Mack and Iz. 
A beautiful night in Happy Valley. The football stadium was all lit up in prep for the White Out v Auburn the next day! 
Thank you Penn State Men’s soccer!

Mack’s was a member of the State College Celtic Soccer Club celticssc.com. It has now grown to more than 100 members! They hosted a tailgate and it was so fun to meet the families! They continue to wear the Mack patch on their shirts.
