2018 Shadow Ridge Boys Soccer Capsule

League: Class 4A Mountain

Head coach: Brian Lavoie, ninth season

2017 record: 8-11-2 (4-7-1 Northwest/sixth)

Returning lettermen (starters): Five (three)

Top athletes: GK Ian Dalton (Sr.), D Brandon Bumacod (Sr.), D Leland Schmidt (So.)

Outlook: The Mustangs return just five lettermen, the bulk of those on the defensive side.

“With only three returning starters and five returning varsity players, this will be a young, inexperienced team,” Lavoie said “We look to work very hard every time we are on the field, and a good result for this team would be to make playoffs. Although the future looks bright, we will need to mature very quickly to reach that goal.

“Although goals are not going to come easy, senior goalkeeper Ian Dalton should be a difference maker and keep us in most of our games.”
