Men's Soccer Adds seven Recruits For 2014 Season

Johnstown, Pa.

Head Coach Eric Kinsey and the Pitt-Johnstown men's soccer program have added seven student-athletes for the 2014 season.
 
"We're thrilled to have these seven guys committed to attend Pitt-Johnstown next fall, Coach Kinsey said.  "They are high character kids and good students who will mesh with our current players very easily.  They've had success at the high school and club levels and received quite a few individual accolades so we're looking forward to them bringing that winning mentality to Pitt-Johnstown.  We believe that they are going to be able to make an immediate impact in our program as we prepare to enter our second year in the PSAC.  I'm excited to get them on campus in August and to have the opportunity to work with them every day."
