"Coach Ducker, the players, and I are all really excited for the upcoming 2022 season. Everyone around the program felt extremely disappointed at the end of last year. It was an unfortunate combination of being a bit snake-bitten with various things and not playing to our full potential. However, we feel a sense of renewal from a great 2022 Spring Season, a committed and driven mindset from the returning squad, and quality incoming talent that we believe can help us return to the top of the league, win a NAC Final, and give us the chance to compete in the NCAA Tournament", said Men's Soccer Head Coach, Billy Shannon. "With our veteran returners, Pieter Oudejans, Will San Pedro, Reuben Harrison and Trevor Gray, along with 2021 Rookie NAC Honorable Mentions, Xander Fortuna-Ramos and JD Vandemergel, and the talented incoming first-year players, we feel like our roster has the skill, depth, and character needed to be successful both on and off the pitch."
