Men's Soccer Announces Class of 2020
May 04, 2016 | Men's Soccer
PRINCETON, N.J. (5/4/16) - Princeton head men's soccer coach Jim Barlow and assistant coach Steve Totten are pleased to announce the incoming student-athletes who will make up the Class of 2020.
“This was a really important year recruiting for us as we lose the sixth most successful class in Princeton soccer history," Barlow said. "The nine graduating seniors had a four-year Ivy record of 16-7-5 and an overall record of 36-23-8. We will miss all that they added to Princeton Soccer both on and off the field. This incoming group has the talent and ability to build on the success of the past few years and take additional steps forward. We are excited to welcome them to the program and expect them to make a big impact. Coach Totten deserves a ton of credit for all that he did identifying and recruiting this talented class."
Princeton is coming off of a 10-5-2 season. The Tigers had two of the top two scorers in the league led by leading scorer and unanimous Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Thomas Sanner, who was later drafted by Vancouver. Three others were named All-Ivy League and two were named Academic All-Ivy League.
And now the Class of 2020...
