In the Fall of 2019, two 18-year-old incoming freshmen on Western Michigan University's men's soccer team were about to get their first taste of the college game.
And, understandably, they were both very nervous, even though neither would start against Butler University in the first game of the season.
''When coach (head coach Chad Wiseman) called my name to go in, I just pointed to myself and said, 'Me?' '' Dylan Sing said.
Charlie Sharp had about the same reaction when Wiseman told him to go into the game.
''I was very nervous, coming in as a little 18-year-old and playing against guys that are four years older than me,'' he said.
