EARLHAM MENS SOCCER

RICHMOND, Ind. — The Earlham College men's soccer team had four individuals

In the pre-season poll the Quakers were in the third spot behind Transylvania
University and the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Earlham was 5-13-2 overall
last fall with a 4-4-1 conference mark to earn a spot in the post-season tourney
championship contest.

and first-year Felicien Muyumba.

last season. Carroll started 15 of the 16 matches in 2011.

Earlham starts the season with a non-conference home contest with Cincinnati
Christian University on Aug. 31. The first HCAC match for the Quakers is at Franklin
College on Sept. 29.
