SALT LAKE CITY - The Westminster men's soccer team
opens the 2010 season with two games on Dumke Field this week. The
season opener is on Thursday, August 26
against second-ranked The Master's College at 5 p.m. Then on Friday,
August 27, Westminster
welcomes 10th-ranked Benedictine College to Dumke for a 5 p.m. kickoff.
Both games will be streamed live on Griffins
TV at WestminsterGriffins.com.
Westminster enters the week after going 10-7-2 in
2009 and advancing to the semi-finals of the Unaffiliated Conference
Tournament. They were 6-1-1 in games
played on Dumke Field last season and have won three straight. They return 18 players from last season's
team.
Dennis Sellis returns in 2010 after leading the team
with eight goals and 21 points last season.
Sellis attempted a team-best 52 shots as a sophomore and put 31 of those
attempts on frame. Matt Jimenez also
returns after a five goal season in 2009.
Other key returners include Kaden Anselmo, Nikolai Dziezyc, Spencer
Luczak, and Bobby Ward.
Look for Damir Sabnovic and Nathan Young to each get
time between the pipes this season. Sabnovic
saw time in two games last season and allowed one goal while making one save. Young saw time with the Westminster JV club
in 2009.
