After finishing the 2010 season with a 11-6-2 record and a 9-1 home record at Knights Field, the 2011 UB men's soccer team will be filled a talented roster. The Purple Knights return 9 of 11 starters from last season and were led by forward Markus Naglestad who as a freshman, recorded a team high 15 goals and 39 points, was named both East Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
Also returning are seniors Patric Brundin, Nick Campbell, Devon Thomas and Tim Stipo, who will all provide the leadership as the team will welcome 11 new players to this year's squad.
Saturday's 6 p.m. home opener vs Southern Connecticut State University at Knights Field, will be an intriguing matchup as the two teams have had some close battles over the past few years. Last season the Owls, finished with a 14-2-4 record and a second place finish in the Northeast-10 Conference only behind Franklin Pierce University. They beat the Purple Knights 1-0 last Oct. 6 at Jess Dow Field in New Haven and UB beat the Owls 1-0 at Knights Field on Aug. 28, 2009.
Southern is led by junior midfielder Ross McGibney, who led the Owls with nine goals and 20 points and senior goalkeeper Andrew Esposito who tallied a 9-1 record and recorded six shutouts last season.
Admission is free to the game.

UB Faculty members goals for this year
Eric D. Lehman --- Senior Lecturer in English/FYS Professor
"My hopes for the 2011-12 school year are perhaps too ambitious. By the end
of spring semester I would like to finish co-authoring another book with
professor Amy Nawrocki, as well as help the new faculty essay series get off
the ground. But my hopes for my students are even more ambitious. I hope
that some will begin the process of becoming the successful humans they have
the potential to become, and I hope some continue on that difficult path.
That's a lot to ask, but I know that they have the strength to do it."
Colleen Powers --- Director of Campus Activities and Community Services
"I am excited for students to come back to UB with an energy and enthusiasm
to make this their best year yet! In Campus Activities and Community
Services, we have some new opportunities for students to get involved and
make a difference in the lives of others, including the UB The Change Common
Interest Living Floor in Seeley Hall. Additionally, with the creation of
the new Student Programming Board more students will get the chance to
participate in the process of planning and putting on events for the UB
community. I encourage everyone to come out to the first SPB Meeting Monday
the 29th at 9pm in Private Dining Room and to the Club and Activity Fair
Thursday September 8th from 4-6pm on the Ped Mall to see all of the
opportunities to get involved!"
Dr. Thomas Ward --- Dean of the International College
"We look forward to an exciting new year with important programmatic
developments in the International College. We also are pleased to welcome
Dr. Robert Riggs to the College. Dr. Riggs' academic focus is Islamic
Civilization and Arabic. He will contribute to the World Religions program
as well as to the course offerings in the Global Development and Peace
program."
"It is uplifting to see the many improvements on the UB campus since last
Spring. It contributes so much to the aesthetics of the campus. The new
year is a promising and hopeful one for UB as an institution. With new
academic programs, new study and dining facilities, some momentous
athletic events, as well as promising, new faculty and a strong cohort of
new students, we have a lot to look forward to."
