2011 Boys Soccer Preview

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
GOSHEN — After winning their fourth consecutive Northern Indiana Soccer Conference title and the second sectional in school history in 2010, the Bruin boys soccer team will look to continue its winning ways in the upcoming season. In the state tournament series, Bethany will get one major piece of help: class soccer. For the first time, the 2011 tournament will feature competition in two classes, so former foes Goshen and Wawasee will no longer line October’s path from Bodiker Field to Kuntz Stadium; West Noble and Bethany, the two remaining teams, could not meet until semi-state on October 22.

Yoder

Hollinger-Janzen

Sylvester

Snyder

The Bruins graduated eight seniors off last season’s 13-5-2 team, which held its opponent to two or fewer goals in 18 of the season’s 20 games. While half of the starting backfield has graduated, the last line of defense, senior Jeff Yoder, returns for his third season in goal. Since taking over for an injured Seth Kauffman in September 2009, Yoder has amassed 15 career shutouts, already enough for third in school history, and a record of 21-7-3 in 31 career starts. Also returning is senior Femi Hollinger-Janzen; the Indiana recruit tallied a team-leading 17 goals and 39 points last season and was named the Northern Indiana Soccer Conference Player of the Year. Fellow senior Drew Sylvester was second in both categories with 12 goals and 35 points. Junior Andrew Snyder is poised to make his return to the pitch as well; he was the Bruins’ second-leading scorer in 2009 (six goals, 19 points) before missing his sophomore year with injuries sustained in a car crash last summer.

Bethany opens its season Tuesday (5 p.m.) at Culver Community after their scrimmage against Concord Saturday morning; their home opener is Thursday (JV at 5, varsity at 6:45) against Elkhart Memorial. Full team rosters follow the "read more" link.
