Coach Tim Lenahan and Northwestern men’s soccer struggled through a difficult season last year, finishing 6-9-3 (0-5-3 in Big Ten play) thanks to a group of contributors that included just two senior starters. But now, with the vast majority of the team’s significant contributors returning, the Wildcats are ready to make some noise in 2019.
Among the five graduated seniors from 2018’s squad, only Camden Buescher, John Moderwell, and Jake Roberge participated in more than half of the team’s games.
But in Buescher, Northwestern loses its highest scorer. The midfielder pumped in seven goals last season, scoring in a variety of ways, but mostly with his strong right leg.
