COACHING STAFF: Head coach Tim Roy; assistant coaches Kerry Weigner, Carl Houser and Tom Prior.
PLAYERS WHO IMPRESSED AT TRYOUTS: Owen Colwell (Defense/2016/Westfield/Westfield; committed to Johns Hopkins University): Owen showed range and athleticism playing close and LSM. His strong physical presence makes him a tough on ball defenseman. Russell Masci (Mid-field/2016/Don Bosco Prep/Montgomery, NY; committed to the University of Maryland): A big strong, athletic alley dodger who had a hard shot. His size makes him a mismatch. He was able to use speed to get to good areas on the field and had the skill to finish. Connor Kirst (Mid-field/ Delbarton School/Bernardsville, NJ; committed to Villanova): One of the returning players from last year’s roster and was one of the most well balanced players at tryouts. He is a strong defensive midfielder who can also transition well.
