INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Kentucky Wesleyan Men's Soccer team has been predicted to finish 10th in the G-MAC by the coaches in the conference. 

Last season's conference champion, Lake Erie, received 10 of the 11 first-place votes and was projected to finish first. Cedarville took home the only other first place vote to get a second-pace prediction. 

Head Coach John Fusco returns all but 90 minutes from last year's team, so the Panthers will be primed for success this season. All three individuals who scored double-digit points, Calum Newson (14), Jake Peveler (10), and Adrian Stokke (10) come back to continue their leading roll with the team. Experienced veterans Max Wawrin, Elijah Easterday, Brendan Wright and Preston Wright, Declan Sandifer, Maxten Miller, and Santiago Henrich are primed for a solid season this year. 2020 leading scorer Julian Gonzalez also returns after missing all of last season due to injury. 

14 newcomers will help give coach Fusco the depth he needs in a deep G-MAC. Goalie Arthur Hill, who transferred to Kentucky Wesleyan from Oakland City in the spring, is primed for his first year in the purple and white. Joining Newson from London, England is midfielder Theo White, who already made a name for himself by scoring a brace in the Panther's 3-0 exhibition win over Oakland City last weekend.
