The defense has been officially dubbed the "No-Goal-Patrol" because of its excellent 0.88 goals against average last year. Goalies Aram Kardzair of San Franciso and Andre Scheitzer of Redondo Beach will alternate from game to game, and try to improve on their combined total of 7 shutouts last season. All-American sweeper Erik Neilsen (Jr.) and fullbacks Stan Musilek (Sr), John Alexander (Jr.), Jan Elberse (Sr.) and Mark Mackbee (Jr.) are all returning, so the defense can only get better. Newcomers Gunar Kvarne and Martin Iverson, both from Sweden, join an already potent mid-field which includes Vidar Larsen (Sr.),Thierry Blanson (So.), Tevis Ignacio (Sr.), Per Haugvalstad (Jr.), Enrique Ingles (So.), and Singh Sandu (Sr.). Larsen was the team's second leading goal-getter last year with 9, and Haugvalstad was second on the assist list with 5, to go along with his 6 tallies (TheFoghorn).
