While SHU men’s soccer redshirt senior Danny Bartok has a 20-minute drive to get back to his home of Union, N.J., his teammate Francisco Alderete has a 13-hour flight to get to his home country of Salta, Argentina.
Of the 27 student-athletes on the Seton Hall men’s soccer team, eight players call countries outside of the United States home. Those players are Alderete (Argentina), Julian Spindler (Germany) Andres Arcila (Columbia), Jordan Kinoshi (England), Matheus Miranda (Brazil), Lukas Pangonis (Lithuania), Nathan Boatswain (Canada) and Pedro Neto (Brazil).
