The boys varsity soccer team is excited about the upcoming 2011 season, despite the loss of 4 seniors and an end of the year season record of 4-13. The Huskies have 10 returning starters from last season, Senior David Barwinczak who will most likely anchor the defense at sweeper with possible marking backs being Junior Evan Alverson and junior Joe Hodson , senior Andrew Crampton will be moved from a center mid position to stopper, senior Justin Russell who will probably be moved from defense to attacking center mid-fielder along with junior Curtis Rodriguez or freshman Collin Luckey, junior Tucker Million and senior Hernan Rodriguez will fill the outside wing mid-fielder positions with possible subs from freshman Josiah Hardacre and senior Tyler Baker, senior Levy Hird and senior Kevin Beery will be moved from mid field and will be the two 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 Hoosier Futbol summer tournament." says Dean. "Last season was a great rebuilding year for all 11 starting underclassmen because of the leadership from the younger players who all have returned, with exception of senior Dallas Vondersaar who has decided not to play this season. 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. Senior Seth Ireland has a year of varsity experience now in the keeper position. He has accepted the challenge as team Captain along with David Barwinczak and Hernan Rodriguez for this season. Seth 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 junior Austin Hunter and Senior Patrick Thomison. Freshman Cameron O^Malia and Sam Stallsmith are new comers to the team 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 and summer friendlies. 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
