Key Returning Players:
Preston Eshelman Sr. D, All-EPC center back one if not the best defender in the area

Brayden Dang Jr. D, 3rd team All_EPC as a Soph. vocal player who can play multiple spots
Callum Harvey Jr. M, starter as a sophomore who is moving into the DCM
Canyon Reinhardt Soph. M, got some starts as a freshman, with great vision and ball movement
Key Newcomers:
Mohamed Hassanali Jr. FW/M impact player who played club only last season
Dahlin Allport Sr D, strong, tall CM who has been able to slot right in
Eli Pennell Sr D, coming off MLSNext good vision and awareness
Colin Wilson Sr GK, athletic goalkeeper who has taken great strides to help us in the back
2023 Outlook:
DEFENSE: We only allowed eight goals all year last season. With our All-EPC anchor (Eshelman) back plus the addition of newcomers Allport and Pennell, and the rise of Roth to go along with 3rd team All-EPC Dang, I think we actually could be better defensively.
We need to score more goals offensively to take the pressure off the back. We also need to have a higher percentage on all set pieces. If we can do these things, we can be dangerous.
