After Program-Best Record in '06, Men's Soccer Seeks Next Step
September 14, 2007
With their top goal scorers suiting up again this fall, the outlook for the Saints appears positive for the 2007 season.
Led by a balanced offensive attack a year ago, the men's soccer team finished with a program-best 8-6-1 record and earned the sixth seed in the GNAC tournament. This season, Head Coach Julio Avila is pleased to welcome back his top three scorers in forward Chris Clark '08, midfielder Cameron O'Hala '09 and forward Jeff Thornton '08, who led the team with four goals apiece in 2006.
Michael Evans '10 also returns after a freshman campaign that included three goals and two assists.
The biggest obstacle for this Saints this fall will be replacing last year's goalie Dan Campagna, who led the league in 2006 with a .835 save percentage.Avila added three new keepers to the roster this year in Carlos Perez'11 and Jesse Tannetta'11 and transfer Jeff Boughton'09 (Chandler-Gilbert Community College, Arizona), in hopes of filling the role.
The men's next match is scheduled for Saturday, September 15th vs. St. Joseph's College at 6 p.m. The game will be played at East Boston Stadium.
