WEST POINT, N.Y. – Army Black Knights men’s soccer welcomes 10 new faces to the program ahead of the 2022 season, as announced by head coach Brian Plotkin.

The incoming plebes will join 19 returning cadets that helped the Black Knights reach the Patriot League Championship Semifinal in 2021.

“We are excited to bring these future leaders into the men’s soccer program,” said Plotkin. “Coach Delano and Coach Scheck did a great job identifying players that will help our program move forward on the field and the character to excel here as cadets at West Point.
