Despite its season getting postponed due to COVID-19, the Seton Hall men’s soccer team has continued training and practicing in anticipation of the tentative spring season.

Coach Andreas Lindberg said he feels the incoming group of freshmen and transfers can possibly play a key role during the upcoming season. Among these newcomers include freshmen defenders Mark Walier and Pierce Enxuto and junior transfer defender Maurice “Mo” Williams.

“Physically [Walier’s] already ready, he’s one of the fittest guys on the team,” Lindberg said. “I think he’s closer to getting playing time than we anticipated.”

A native of Holmdel, New Jersey, Walier captained his high school team for two years and led them to back-to-back NJ Group 2 State Championships in 2017 and 2018.
