WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ - Monmouth University Men's Soccer Head Coach
Robert McCourt has announced the addition of six student-athletes, who will join the team ahead of the 2020 fall semester.
"I am excited to announce our 2020 class," said McCourt. "All of these incoming student-athletes come from high-level soccer backgrounds and are fantastic students. I expect each of them to have a big impact on our program."
The team will resume play in 2021. On July 27, 2020, Monmouth University, in conjunction with the unanimous decisions made by the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Council of Presidents, cancelled all fall athletics contests.
