Glick Goal Lifts Olympians Over Warriors in Boys Soccer Opener

It was defense, discipline, and one dazzling finish that carried Columbus East’s boys soccer team to a 1-0 road win at Whiteland.

Midway through the second half, Ethan Glick connected on a cross from Josh VanValkenburg, slotting home the match’s lone goal. From there, goalkeeper Ryder Meek and the Olympian back line slammed the door, securing a clean sheet to kick off the campaign.

It was exactly the kind of gut-check road win East needed to set the tone — proving they’re ready to grind out results and put wins on the board in 2025.
