Men's Soccer Season Preview

Despite only returning four starters from last season's ACCA national runner-up team, the Eagles are optimistic about the upcoming 2015 season.  The 2014 Eagles led the NCCAA II in shots, were second in goals, and third assists to end 13-6-1, but this year's squad will have to replace several key players from last season. 

The 2015 Faith Eagles will be led by captains Jason Scheps and Andrew Young.  Scheps returns to action after spending a season away while studying abroad and Young will be entering his second season while transitioning from defender to midfielder.  Faith's top returning scorer is sophomore Joseph Frerichs who scored 10 goals and had 9 assists last season to be in the top 20 nationally in points and assists.  Other returning starters and contributors from last season include sophomores Marcus Wilkes, David Levy, Joey Young, Jared DeNeui, Marcos Loveall, and Wesley Schultz.  Faith has a strong group of newcomers this year including potential starters Riley Stuckey, Nick Paine, Chase Clark, and Cole Glanzer, The team is rounded out with first year players Tim Tillotson, Alec Hraba, Caleb Sturgis, and Daniel Miller.  

The Eagles are looking forward to hosting both regular season matches against NCCAA North Central Region opponents Providence College University (Manitoba, Canada) and North Central University (Minneapolis, MN) early in the season before moving on to a long and challenging Midwest Christian College Conference (MCCC) schedule. 

The Eagles will open the season at home against Lincoln Christian on Saturday, August 29th at noon.
