The Breakdown Willam Carey recorded two wins over Top 25 opponents last season and lost to three others by a combined total of four goals en route to posting a double digit win total for the fourth season in a row

The Crusaders will boast an abundance of youth in 2015 as nearly half of the teamrsquos rostered players are freshmen (1228) Despite the teamrsquos plethora of youth and the graduation of Hon-orable Mention All-American defender Andri Jonsson William Carey still returns three post-season award winners from 2014 Daniel Gudmundsson was named to the Southern States Athletic Conference Second Team in 2014 while Pedro Villar Roldan and Vasco Monteiro were pegged to the SSAC All-Freshmen Team The Crusaders were an impressive 8-4 last season in matches decided by one goal including a near-upset of fifth-ranked Auburn-Montgomery The necessary blend of talent youth and experience is present for William Carey to reach the 10-win plateau again in 2015

Coach David Gregson | 2014 Record 5-6-4 (5-4-1 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown 2014 was a season of near misses for Embry-Riddle as the team drew four matches and lost a whopping six more by a single goal The highlight of the Eaglesrsquo season was a 9-8 win in a penalty shootout over Northwood (Keiser) in the first round of The Sun Confer-ence tournament in a match that included a whopping 43 fouls Embry-Riddle was just 1-6 however in matches decided by a single goal indicating that the teamrsquos five win output might not be as dismal as it seems Despite graduating TSC Offensive Player of the Year Veit Cou-turier at the conclusion of last season the Eagles will return three All-Conference performers headlined by All-Conference Second-Team defender Magnus Magnusson Magnusson proved his worth in 2014 despite switching positions garnering Second Team honors after being pegged a First Team midfielder his freshmen season in 2013 He anchored an Embry-Riddle defense that allowed just 114 goals per match Embry-Riddle held a +10 goal differential in 2014 despite possessing a record that was under 500 The Eagles made the jump to NCAA Division II this year and are now a member of the Sunshine State Conference

St Thomas University STU_AthleticsSeptember 27 2015 | 230 pm | Miami Gardens Fla

Coach Felix Mats | 2014 Record 3-15 (3-7 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown Despite a dismal three win season in 2014 St Thomas has reason for optimism heading into a new season The Bobcats lost seven matches by a single goal last year and another in a penalty shootout in the TSC tournament to SCAD a team that eventu-ally advanced to the championship round St Thomas still managed to win three conference matches and actually held just a -21 goal differential on the season suggesting the team was slightly more competitive than its record suggests In 15 losses the Bobcats were outscored by an average of 18 goals per game The team closed the 2014 regular season by winning two out of four matches including a 4-0 rout of Ave Maria St Thomas also defeated Johnson amp Wales 4-3 during that stretch

The Bobcats recorded a 12-win season in 2012 a year in which the team registered a 9-1 con-ference record so St Thomas will look to carry its 2014 season-ending momentum forward in hopes of duplicating 2012

2015 opponentsWebber International Universirty WebberAthleticsOctober 1 2015 | 100 pm | Babson Park Fla

Coach Neil Cockburn | 2014 Record 7-8 (3-7 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown Webber hung steadily around the 500 mark for most of the 2014 season as the team raced out to a 4-1 record before falling in four consecutive matches The Warriors held a goal differential of +9 for the season despite a 15-0 rout of Johnson University on Sept 20 Webber was 4-2 in one goal matches but the team was defeated by two goals or more on six separate occasions

The Warriors will boast a youthful squad featuring just four seniors this season after graduat-ing two All-Conference players in 2014 Stephen McGinn one of those All-Conference players was also named an Honorable Mention All-American He led Webber with eight goals and his production will be missed as the Warriors open a new campaign

Thirty of the 40 players on the Warriorsrsquo roster are either freshmen or sophomores

Warner University WarnerRoyalOctober 3 2015 | 430 pm | Thomasville Ga

Coach Drew Stacey | 2014 Record 7-9-1 (4-5-1 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown Warner University hovered around 500 for much of 2014 but the team did display signs of life late in the season The Royals won two consecutive conference matches over Ave Maria and Webber to clinch a spot in the conference tournament The team scored exactly the same number of goals as they conceded in the regular season before falling to Flor-ida Memorial in the opening round of the TSC Tournament Warner much like TUrsquos previous opponent Webber International will begin the 2015 campaign searching for production after losing a vital player to graduation at the conclusion of last season in Bruno da Silva The Roy-alsrsquo leader scored nine goals en route to earning All-Conference First Team honors The Royals will however return starting goalkeeper Leo Viala a Frenchman who has garnered multiple TSC Defensive Player of the Week honors over the course of his career Viala recorded four saves in last seasonrsquos match versus Webber to help his team clinch a spot in the conference tournament

Thomas University defeated Warner 3-0 on Oct 4 in Lake Wales Fla in the teamsrsquo lone meet-ing last year

Johnson amp Wales University JWUathleticsPVDOctober 9 2015 | 230 pm | North Miami Fla

Coach Phil Zayas | 2014 Record 5-11 (2-8 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown Johnson amp Wales opened 2014 on a three-match winning streak before losing 11 of 13 contests including a dismal eight-match losing streak to conclude the season The Wildcats outscored opponents 14-1 while racing out to a 3-0 start but the team was outscored by 21 goals over 13 matches to close the year

Pedro Codo will be an integral part of the Wildcatsrsquo success moving forward into 2015 The senior midfielder from Sao Paulo Brazil scored nine goals and added three assists to earn Second Team All-TSC honors as a junior in 2014 Codo will undoubtedly need help offensively however as Johnson amp Wales was susceptible to prolonged scoring droughts last season The Wildcats failed to score a single goal on six separate occasions Johnson amp Wales will have a significant advantage over other conference opponents in the experience department entering the season as eight of the teamrsquos 18 rostered players are seniors Six of the eight seniors are either defensemen or midfielders

The Night Hawks defeated Johnson amp Wales 5-2 in Thomasville on Oct 15 in the teamsrsquo only meeting of 2014

Ave Maria University GyrenesOctober 15 2015 | 200 pm | Thomasville Ga

Coach Antonio Soave | 2014 Record 1-14 (0-10 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown After struggling to a disappointing 1-14 record a season ago a young Ave Maria side rostering just two seniors will look to take the next step towards competing in The Sun Conference by gaining experience this season The Gyrenesrsquo lone victory of 2014 came in surprising fashion a 15-0 thumping of visiting Trinity College Ave Maria outshot the Tigers 45-1 in the win and had 10 different players find the back of the net

The Gyrenes struggled mightily after that match however failing to score at all in the teamrsquos next five contests Ave Maria scored just four goals in the teamrsquos final 12 matches and just six goals all season

First year head coach Antonio Soave will look to begin to build team chemistry in 2015 as the Gyrenes attempt to stride towards competitiveness in conference play Soave a former profes-sional player in Canada takes over a program with just five wins in the past three seasons

The Night Hawks met the Gyrenes once last season a 4-0 win for Thomas University

Keiser University KUSeahawksOctober 11 2015 | 330 pm | West Palm Beach Fla

Coach Joe Zakowicz | 2014 Record 9-5-3 (6-2-2 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown Keiser formerly known as Northwood won three out of four matches to close the 2014 regular season and earned a spot in the NAIA National Tournament to cap off a solid nine win season last year Before being eliminated the Seahawks upset top-seeded Rio Grande 3-2 in the national tournament a victory that will likely cause Keiser to carry confidence into the new season The Seahawks were an even 4-4 in one goal matches in 2014 while posting a goal differential of +7 across 17 matches The team graduated senior goalkeeper Mark Daw-son an Honorable Mention All-American at the conclusion of last season leaving a void at one of the most important positions on the pitch Keiser graduated 11 seniors from its 2014 team and will boast another experienced squad featuring 12 more seniors this season The team also has 11 juniors and just five freshmen The Seahawks will return Mark Hanlon a junior midfielder from Ireland who earned First Team All-Conference honors in 2014

The Night Hawks and Seahawks battled to a 1-1 draw in the teamsrsquo only meeting of the season on Oct 19 in Thomasville

Southeastern University FireAthleticsOctober 17 2015 | 100 pm | Thomasville Ga

Coach Clay Roberts | 2014 Record 10-6-3 (4-4-2 The Sun Conference)

The Breakdown After successfully reaching the 10-win plateau last season Southeastern will look to become even more competitive by posting an above-500 record in conference play this season The Fire started 2014 on a torrid streak winning six of seven matches from Aug 26-Sept 13 but the team cooled off significantly after that recording just two wins in six matches to conclude the season Southeastern posted a goal differential of +21 in one of the best seasons in program history in 2014 and thus will look to carry momentum into 2015 The Firersquos roster is a unique blend of experienced and younger players as 10 freshmen will join five seniors with hopes of competing for the conference crown The Fire return junior Pedro Ivo Dias in 2015 a Brazilian midfielder who scored eight goals and recorded three assists a season ago Southeastern also graduated Shane Jones and David Danahy two players who earned First Team All-Conference honors in 2014

The Breakdown The Night Hawks will step out of conference late in the season to take on Georgia Gwinnett a member of the Association of Independent Institutions The Grizzlies were a formidable opponent last season posting 12 wins while boasting one of the countryrsquos best de-fensive units anchored by Third Team All-American Ruud Grol Grol anchored a defense that allowed just 15 goals in 17 games ensuring that Georgia Gwinnett was competitive in every game on its schedule The Grizzliesrsquo defense allowed more than one goal just twice all sea-son Georgia Gwinnett also returns All-AII net-minder Lewis Sharpe who was made to look all the more talented thanks to the stingy defense in front of him Sharpe finished the season ranked 16th in the nation in goals allowed Georgia Gwinnett will return the majority of its key contributors from last season and figures to be one of the more talented squads that Thomas University will face all season The Grizzlies were ranked as high as ninth in the nation at one point last season en route to winning the AII Title for the second consecutive year

Thomas University met Georgia Gwinnett once in 2014 a 1-0 win for the Night Hawks on Sept 6 in Thomasville The loss was the Grizzliesrsquo only defeat in the teamrsquos first eight matches of 2014

SCAD-Savannah SCAD_SavSportsOctober 28 2015 | 700 pm | Thomasville Ga

Coach Tom Melville | 2014 Record 11-3-4 (9-0-1 TSC)

The Breakdown Thomas Universityrsquos regular season finale will be a rematch of The Sun Con-ference Tournament final from a season ago as the Night Hawks will face a talented SCAD-Sa-vannah squad at home before entering postseason play SCAD finished its regular season con-ference slate undefeated and entered the conference tournament as the top seed in 2014 The Bees were an impressive 8-3 in one goal matches a stat that was a large contributor to the fact that the team didnrsquot lose a match from Sept 6-Nov 14 The Bees will return top player Naim El-Harriti a junior midfielder who earned Third Team All-American honors in 2014 The team also returns Honorable Mention All-Americans Jordan Trinci-Lyne and Fernando Zeledon
