LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell head men's soccer coach Brendan Nash has announced his recruiting class for the fall of 2002. The program welcomes six newcomers to the field, including two high school All-Americans.
"Despite coming off a losing season this past year, we did not feel we needed large numbers in this freshman class," commented Nash. "We have some very good young players already in the program, however, we felt the need to add a few key pieces to help bring the program back to the level we expect. We are confident we have found those student-athletes in this year's recruiting class."
Following is an alphabetical list of the six Bucknell men's soccer recruits that comprise the class of 2006:
Eric Brunton (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) - Brunton was recently named an NSCAA Regional All-American forward from the Mideast Region, as well as a member of the All-State First-Team in Indiana.
