Men's soccer to graduate six seniors, looks forward to recruits
By Reed Boeger | November 30, 2007With a frustrating loss to the University of Vermont last week, Dartmouth's men's soccer team was bumped out of the NCAA tournament and officially ended the season. "We were very disappointed in the tournament, but overall this season we have a lot to be proud of for what we achieved," said Head Coach Jeff Cook. With the end of the season, the team bids farewell to its seniors and begins looking ahead towards next year. Dartmouth's 11-4-3 season (5-1-1 Ivy League) marks the end of several soccer careers; the men's team will graduate a number of members this year, many of whom were starters. "We had six seniors and the majority of them played big roles," Pumi Maqubela '10 said. Of the players that will not be returning next year, two of the most notable are defenders Ale Frischeisen '08 and To Lobben '08, who led Dartmouth's notoriously tight back line.
