 I'm really excited this season for our team to be at the Owings Mills East Campus, to be able to play on an unbelievable Bermuda grass field, to be able to practice on a Bermuda grass field is not a lot of programs. Division three can say that as well as division one and division two. So for our team, we want to make that our home. We want to be able to build tradition there, history there. We played three games on it last season, Gettysburg we lost three, two, they were number 23 in the country at the time, Marymount we knocked off 2-0, they made the NCAA tournament won their conference at the Atlantic East and then we also tied with Mary Washington. So went to the final four. So we played really well in that field. It suits our style of play. So I'm really excited that we'll be there to play all our home games and playoff games and hopefully NCAA games as well. This non-conference schedule is built by me to get this team ready for a MAC conference play. We want them to play against really competitive teams that we would see in the NCAA, that we're going to see in conference. And so we need to use those games to prepare our team for the adversity in the battles that we face in the MAC and hopefully in the playoffs in NCAA tournament. Every year we go into the season, we split it into two non-conference who want to obviously be as strong as we can to prepare for conference play. Starting Messiah, Perennial Powerhouse in the MAC, we need to win those games non-conference if we want to have a chance at large. So soccer season starts right away, there's no room for error. So starting that first weekend, all the way through the season, compete better than we did last year. I thought we competed well, but I didn't think we were quite as ruthless in front of goal and that led to a lot of ties. And then obviously once we get to conference play there's only eight teams now. We want to be in the top four. We want to give ourselves the best opportunity to be successful in the MAC playoffs and go on to the NCAAs, which men's soccer has never done. Returning wise, we have got a great group of guys coming back. They really have bought into the culture that we're trying to set as competitive. It's always pushing each other to be better on and off the field. They will bring a lot. We had some leadership changes with our seniors that graduated from last year. So we made some changes this spring. We feel we've got the right leaders in place to help take this team to the next level and also to help guide our big freshman class that's coming in. Our first year class, I'm really excited about it. We have got a great group. We were able to recruit from all over kudos to my coaching staff, especially Bill Kerr, my assistant coach. I think I sent him everywhere we possibly could over this last year to really help get a class in. They can help build this team and give us depth in every position. So we're really excited to get players coming from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, a lot coming from the Northern Virginia area, as well as always with Maryland. This first year group is a large group and we expect them to hit the ground running right away when we start pre-season and be able to compete for playing time and give us the depth that we need to play, the kind of soccer that we want, relentless pressing, and get more goals. I would just like to say to the Stevenson community, please come out and watch your games over at the Owings Mills East Campus. It's a short walk from the North Campus. It's going to be beautiful out there. There's always a breeze. There's a great hill to sit on. We're going to provide some awesome soccer, awesome football, that's the way it should be called. We're going to have, you know, it's going to be a great, great place to watch games. So I would encourage you to get over there, especially in September when the weather's beautiful. Come out and watch this. I think you'll be impressed with what we have to offer.
