2014 SEASON PREVIEW Fresh off a New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference semi-final a season ago the outlook is bright for the Coast Guard men’s soccer team in 2014. Despite graduating five starters from a season ago the Bears return almost 60 percent of their goal scoring from last year’s club which wrapped up the season with a record 9-7-4 (3-3-1 NEWMAC). Head coach Chris Parsons, in his 13th season at the Academy, will be tasked with leading the Bears again in 2014. He will be assisted by Patrick McCarney (fifth season) and goalkeeping coach Anthony Occhialini (second season).
career goals) and Lukas Benedetto (4 career goals). Seniors Conor Regan and Tradd Lovern should also see time up top after scoring their first career goals last season The offensive efforts will be aided by a more offensive-minded midfield, especially in junior Alex Lane who should be poised for a breakout campaign after his career season was cut short in 2013. Lane will play an attacking central midfield role while being supported by seniors Trey Chamberlain and tri-captain and 2012 second team All-NEWMAC selection Matthew Bogdan.
Freshmen that could have an impact on the upcoming season for Coast Guard include back Austin Read (Takoma Park, Md.) and midfielders Ryan Dandan (Trophy Club, Texas) and Luke Telang (Providence, The Bears biggest strength in 2014 should R.I.). be their defense with the return of four starting backs and two-time first team Coast Guard will once again face a All-NEWMAC selection and tri-captain challenging non-conference schedule Richie Burns in goal.

With a mix of experienced veterans and youthful talent there’s no reason to think Coast Guard can’t once again qualify for the NEWMAC post-season tournament. They should compete with every team in the conference and if all goes well the Bears will achieve their goal of playing on November 9th.
Coast Guard lost three starters up top but Coach Parsons thinks the team “could be solid offensively as the team looks for some returners with experience to step up and score more this season.” The two players who will likely be called upon, especially in the early going, are juniors Ricky Davies (3
The Bears will kick off the 2014 season on Friday, August 29th when they take on Salve Regina University at 3:30 p.m. as part of the season-opening University of Southern Maine Invitational.
