Overview: The Bucks lost in the regional quarterfinals in overtime last fall and have a solid core back from that club.

There’s also some veteran leadership back on defense with Barker, Hamman, Chabe and Kimball.

Coach’s comment:  “We have a lot of new faces this year that have not played soccer before but are good athletes. If we can come together, we should be a tough team. We have some guys that can really score. Combined with physical play, we should be fun to watch. We are all very excited about the season.” — Travis Magnusson
