The Lansing Eastern boys soccer team made program history this season, earning its first league championship on the pitch.
The Quakers went on to finish the regular season ranked No. 3 in the Division 2 state coaches poll, and they advanced to Thursday's Division 2 District Final at DeWitt before seeing their fall come to an end with a 1-0 loss to the host Panthers.
To commemorate its September accomplishment, Eastern was named the inaugural "Team of the Month" sponsored by Jet's Pizza. The Quakers clinched the Capital Area Activities Conference Red title with a Sept. 22 win over St. Johns, and two weeks later went on to win the CAAC Gold Cup with a 2-1 shootout victory over Okemos, which finished the regular season ranked No. 3 in Division 1.
Eastern finished this fall 17-2-3, only two years removed from ending 2024 at 4-12-1.
