Valparaiso University men’s soccer head coach Mike Avery announced today a talented group of players set to join the Crusaders in 2016, as the men’s soccer program welcomes seven new additions to the current squad. The 2016 class is comprised of student-athletes from three different U.S. states and four total countries, and joins a Valpo squad that is looking to build off a 7-6-5 (3-3-3 Horizon) season in 2015 – a season which included a 3-1-1 mark for the Crusaders against teams ranked in the top-25 nationally.

Kendan Anderson (Portmore, Jamaica), Hamid Babaali (Los Angeles, Calif.), Blake Comstock (Marion, Iowa), Michael Cushing (Orange, Calif.), Adan Garcia (Dallas, Texas), Anton Nelson (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands), and Chris Villalobos (Richardson, Texas) will all join a talented group of returners for Valpo this coming August.
