The boys varsity soccer team is excited about the upcoming 2010 season, despite the loss of 14 seniors and an end of the year season record of 6-11. The Huskies have several returning starters from last season, Senior Zach Griffith who will most likely anchor the defense at sweeper with possible marking backs being freshman Luke Godoy and junior Dallas Vondersaar , sophomore Curtis Rodriguez will be moved from the sweeper position to stopper, junior Levy Hird who will probably be moved from defense to attacking center mid-fielder alond with junior Andrew Crampton or sophomore Evan Alverson or junior Justin Russell, junior Kevin Beery or junior Hernan Rodriguez who will be coming up from JV to fill an outside wing mid-fielder position and accompanied by David Barwinczak on the other wing, junior Tyler Baker and sophomore Tucker Million who will be two of the attacking forwards , "After a season of rebuilding last year this season will have several strong players in key positions, we will be working on several aspects of the game this summer at various team events like team conditionings, team scrimmages, summer friendlies, IPFW team soccer camp, and the Lafayette Harrison summer tournament." says Dean. "Last season was a great rebuilding year for everyone that was on the team because of the leadership given by graduates and Captains Alex Webber, Dylan Peck, and Kaleb Heinzman. This year the younger guys will be stepping up and filling some shoes and I know they are ready for the challenge. We have several guys that can play and have been stepping up since the end of last season. Junior Seth Ireland has big shoes to fill in the keeper position but has graciously accepted that challenge and has made tremendous strides since his first year of ever playing soccer last season. He has developed into an excellent keeper that our players can and have relied on. Other key guys that will be vying for some starting positions are senior Michael Shulenburg and junior Patrick Thomison, Sophomores Phil Conn. Tyler Baker and Dallas Vondersaar are new comers to the sport and we are looking for them to step up and fill some roles this season as they have started to show over the summer at IPFW. Not to be forgotten are all of the other guys that have been working hard during conditioning and training in order to try and win over a starting spot. Keep up the hard work." - Coach Dean
