MEN'S SOCCER PICKED THIRD IN CACC PRESEASON POLL
8-19-07
CALDWELL, N.J. - The Caldwell College men's soccer team was selected
third in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Preseason Poll,
as voted on by the league's 10 head coaches. The Cougars received
one first place vote and 80 total points, five behind second-place
Wilmington College. Three-time defending conference champion
Dominican College was picked first with 93 points.
The Cougars return six starters from last season's team that
finished with a record of 12-6-1 and placed fourth in the CACC
standings. Caldwell, coached by Jamie Nash, advanced to the
semifinals of the CACC Tournament for the fourth straight season in
2006. Among the returnees is senior defender Andrew Fraser
(Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer's), a three-time all-CACC selection and
two-time all-Northeast Region honoree. Two-time all-CACC defender
Jan Marco Jiras (Lima, Peru) and junior forward Chad Bennett
(Kingston, Jamaica/Campion), the team's leading returning scorer,
also are back.
Chestnut Hill College joins the conference this season after winning
the NEAC championship and advancing to the NCAA Division III
Tournament in 2006.
The Cougars begin the 2007 season at the Franklin Pierce University
Tournament on Aug. 30.
