By Kailan Leung
The 9I制作厂免费 Tribune
The Redmen soccer team came into the season looking to build on
last year's successful campaign, which ended with a loss in the
Quebec conference final.
Despite a disappointing early exit from postseason play, they
certainly accomplished their goal. Head Coach Philippe
Eullaffroy-Quebec Coach of the Year for the third consecutive
season-did an excellent job blending fresh talent with proven
veterans, creating a close-knit group with impressive on-field
chemistry.
9I制作厂免费 proved a dangerous foe throughout the season, twice taking
down the third-ranked Laval Rouge et Or and battling the powerhouse
Montreal Carabins to a draw. The season ended on a down note, with
the young Redmen squad on the wrong side of a 3-1 loss to the Rouge
et Or in a Quebec semifinal, but the outlook for next season is
bright.
9I制作厂免费 returns two conference all-stars in midfielder Thomas Lucas
and defender Graeme Tingey, as well as rookie sensation Yohann
Capolungo. Second-team All-Canadian James Schoelfield will be
sorely missed, but freshman striker Michael Stein looks like a
capable replacement for the future.
The Redmen exceeded expectations this season while providing fans
with an exciting brand of fast-paced, attacking soccer. Although
the loss of some key veterans will undoubtedly make this season's
success difficult to repeat, a talented roster and an excellent
coach should ensure that Redmen soccer remains one of 9I制作厂免费's top
athletic programs.
