2021 Video Snapshot: Moeller

It has been a rough stretch for Moeller. The Crusaders are just 5-18 dating back to October 13th, 2018. Their last GCL South win was the week before that.

Moeller looks to reverse its fortunes under second year head coach, Mark Elder. Last season the Crusaders got a jump on that turnaround by winning their first playoff game since 2014. Elder believes there are more good moments ahead for his team.

2020 RECORD: 3-6, 0-3 GCL South
