Pack’s Freshmen Weigh in at 28th

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

The Wolfpack Men’s Soccer Team’s Freshman class was ranked by College Soccer News at number 28. The only bad news is 6 of the remaining 8 ACC Teams with Men’s Soccer programs rank in the top 11. There are several players CollegeSoccerNews.com has listed as Freshman to Watch for 2007, Tyler Lassiter a defender from Wakefield-Rolesville who played his club ball with CASAL Elite. The other Freshman on the list is Goalkeeper Brandyn Bumpas from Denver Colorodo.

Bumpas is one that, as a former goalkeeper, excites me. He has spent time with the US National U20 team and played for the same club team that produced Aaron King and John Queeley. I think he will be a great addition to the Wolfpack and I’m glad to see him wearing the Red and White. The Pack still has a long way to go to be able to continually compete with the remainder of the ACC.

Pack’s 2nd Scrimmage

Monday, August 13th, 2007

The Wolfpack had their 2nd scrimmage of the summer Saturday again closed to the media, however Coach O’Brien released some stats. According to ACC Now the running backs and defense dominated the day. The quarterbacks struggled with interceptions and Freshman Russell Wilson was the only one to throw a touchdown.

Not sure if this is a good sign or not. It is no secret our running backs are among the best in the Conference and it shouldn’t be a surprise they ran over our defense.

Junior tailback Andre Brown rushed for 100 yards on 12 carries with a 26-yard touchdown. Junior Toney Baker carried nine times for 45 yards while Jamelle Eugene had 13 carries for 23 yards.
