After coming off a 1-12 record in 2015, the men's soccer team has combined for 12 wins over the past two seasons.   The success is led by a core of senior student-athletes that have put FM soccer back on the map.

The seven seniors include; Austin Heroth, Aiden VanLoan, Shane Smith, Cameron Monks, Matthew Smrtic, Jack Albertin, and Yauza Arauz. Each player has a major role on the team and have been the reason the program has seen the success it has in just two short years.

"These players have given more to FM then I could have ever asked for.  The soccer program at FM has a long storied history, this group belongs in the conversation of the best class. These seven lead FM soccer to be relevant again, said Leggiero.  Coaching these boys has been a pleasure.  We have been through highs and lows, but always together.  For our first ever recruiting class at FM, Adam and I could not have done better."

These seniors regular season may be over, but they are not done yet.  The Raiders await their regional seed in hopes to make a run at a Regional title starting next week.
