Coach’s Quote: “Micah brings a great amount of experience. I told him he’s coming in to compete for a spot and there’s lot of pressure and expectations,” Cosgrove said. “He thought it was a terrific situation and loved the challenge. I liked his maturity and confidence and he is a good shot stopper.
“Nils was comfortable with dictating everything in games and practices. It is terrific to have a leader in that position. Micah has maturity and exposure to high level soccer.”
