2012 Season Outlook<br />
Coming off its most successful season in nearly a decade,<br />
the 2012 edition of University of St. Francis men’s soccer<br />
returns seven starters and more than 80% of its offensive production<br />
of a year ago.<br />
Headlining the corps of returning players for fifth-year<br />
head coach Khochon Thanadabouth are seniors Victor Trujillo<br />
and Michael Kowal. Both players garnered All-Chicagoland<br />
Collegiate Athletic Conference First Team accolades after leading<br />
the Saints to a fifth-place finish with a 6-3-1 mark in league<br />
play last fall.<br />
Trujillo scored 15 goals in 18 matches and added seven<br />
assists for 37 points. Four of his goals were game-winners.<br />
Kowal tallied four goals, including a pair of winners, to go along<br />
with one assist. The duo spearheaded a USF offensive attack<br />
that tallied 49 goals in 18 contests.<br />
Four other returnees netted at least three goals last year:<br />
junior Juan Mascote (6 goals), junior Christian Ontiveros (5),<br />
junior Ulises Ornelas (4) and sophomore Wilmer Moreno (3).<br />
Among the key returning players in the back are seniors<br />
Matt Nieciunski and Shaun McMillin. They started a combined<br />
Victor Trujillo scored 15 goals in 2011<br />
22 matches in 2011.<br />
USF will feature new faces in goal this season following the departure of All-CCAC Second Team keeper Juan<br />
Santoliva, who played in 16 of 18 matches a year ago and logged a 1.46 goals against average with two shutouts.<br />
A trio of newcomers led by fifth-year senior Michael Rogers – who joins the team after serving as a punter and<br />
placekicker for the USF football – will vie for the starting position. Senior Mike Moberg, who sat out last year,<br />
and freshman Ryan Reitmeier should also figure in the mix.<br />
