MEN: Soccer team allowed 30 goals this summer

From Page B6 more than half of his club’s 14 goals.

FC Davis allowed 30 goals, more than any other team except the last-place Oakland Stompers. The Golden Lions surrendered 16 goals in their first six games, none of which ended in a win.

Even through adversity, Hall always believed his club could accomplish great things.

“When we were bringing these players in and we got into preseason, I knew right from the beginning that this was a very special team,” Hall said. “And it was a matter of keeping them on the same page, keeping them bought in because wins are not a reflection of development.”

With the season over, many FC Davis players will return to college for the fall season.

Next year’s NPSL campaign is expected to commence in April.
