Looking to improve upon last fall’s 3-6-1 Niagara-Orleans record, Albion will have a pair of non league tune-up games next week before beginning league competition at Newfane on September 9.
The Purple Eagles will open at Holley on September 1 at 7 p.m. and then visit Pembroke on September 3 at 6 p.m. The N-O opener will be at Newfane on September 9.
Anchoring the Albion lineup will be the veteran group of seniors Adam Burgio, Alakai Colmenero, Ayden Coston, Landon Graybill and John Marat Along with juniors Garret Jones and Nathan Wehling. Jones earned second team N-O All-League honors last fall.
“We’ve got a good group of athletes but not a lot of soccer experience,” said Coach Bridgett Varin.
