Goldey-Beacom's men's soccer team hopes to continue its ascent in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference as the league has announced its preseason poll based on a vote of the league's coaches.

GBC welcomes back senior midfielder Eduardo Coimbra (Curitiba, Brazil), who looks to give the offense a major spark plug. An energetic competitor and an exciting player to watch, Coimbra was picked second team All-CACC in 2019 and 2021. He is tied for fifth in team history with 17 assists and seventh outright with 43 points.

The Lightning also get solid midfield play from junior Oliver Person (Ski, Norway), who a season ago made 13 starts and has played in 33 games over the last two seasons.

Junior midfielder Nick Perez (Wilmington, DE) returns and gives the team a strong mentality both on the offensive and defensive side. An impressive player who any squad would want to build around, Perez has played in 33 games over the past two seasons with 29 starts.

Goldey-Beacom opens its season September 1 at Mercyhurst and the home opener is September 6 against Staten Island.
