Soccer clan plan for growth
The Ottawa University Men's Soccer team comes into the 2009 season being chosen for fourth place in the Kansas College Athletic Conference.
Last season the Braves finished with a 9-9-1 record, and a 6-3-0 record in conference play. It was the team's best record in three years.
Senior Matt Walton believes that the team is developing well.
"We have good players coming into this," Walton said. "There's definitely a good team chemistry on and off the field. We just need to step it up in practice."
Six seniors return to this year's squad, as well as 2008 All-KCAC selections Colin Wylie, Marvin Graham and Phillip Nguyen. Hopefully, that will account for an abundance of leadership on the team.
Sophomore midfielder Jeff Savage, a communications major, believes the Braves' leaders have them primed for a big season.
"I believe leadership-wise we have arguably two of the best captains and players in the KCAC with Marvin Graham and Colin Wylie," said Savage. "They both are excellent leaders on and off the field, and it definitely shows in our play."
