After a 90 degree grueling pre-season the final cuts have been made and our team is on the brink of beginning our 2009 season; the current team containing nine freshman and one transfer.

With the loss of quiet a few key seniors, the team has undergone major modifications. However, coach Bruley is more than confident that this team will be the best team New Paltz has seen thus far.

We have had two scrimmages against two extremely competitive teams. The first resulted in a tie (1-1). The second in a 2-0 loss against number 25 in the nation, Skidmore. Although we did lose the second game, the quality of play was up to par and what I believe to be a  glimpse of a winning team in the making was apparent.

Right now we are  looking to work hard off the mid field, continue to have a strong defensive back four and most importantly score some goals! Our first official game is this Tuesday against Ramapo College, and I know that we are all looking forward to seeing what this team is truly capable of.
