StrengthsThe DCC varsity soccer program enters the season under the direction of first-year head coach Jose Montalvan, boasting a highly balanced squad that blends battle-tested veteran leadership with an incredibly talented influx of youth.
The true structural foundation of this team is a disciplined four-man backline that offers an elite combination of size, speed, and positioning. Anchored by the aerial dominance of 6'2" junior center-back Jack Wilson. Senior fullback Adam Aubain provides stabilizing veteran leadership, while junior Bennett Huston injects lethal pace sparking immediate counter-attacks. This core group works in perfect harmony with standout 6'0" freshman Ethan Montalvan, creating a highly versatile defensive line. This backline is reinforced by seasoned veterans Albino Fletes and Mason Grissom. Their familiarity with the pace of varsity play gives the Thunder defensive versatility.
ReturningJack Wilson (Junior / Center Back): At 6'2", Jack is a massive returning physical presence in the middle of the backline.
William McKiernan (Sophomore / Forward): After a stellar freshman introduction, William has made a massive developmental leap as a sophomore.
Evan Shank (Senior / Midfielder & Fullback): Evan is the ultimate workhorse in the middle of the pitch.
Albino Fletes (Senior) & Mason Grissom (Junior): Returning midfielders who fill will are incredible midfielders.
Behind a fierce defensive network sits a premier shot-stopper in junior goalkeeper Teague Coleman.
NewcomersEthan Montalvan (Freshman / Defender): Standing at 6'0", Ethan is an impactful true newcomer on the squad. Earning a spot directly into the starting four-man backline as a freshman is incredibly rare, and his lockdown synergy alongside the upperclassmen has fueled the team's undefeated start.
Kainalu May (Freshman / Forward & Striker): A pure attacking talent added to the varsity squad to provide fresh legs, pace, and depth in the final third.
Juan Felix Rojas & Andrew Ratherford (Freshmen / Midfielders): Both of these incoming freshmen have cracked the varsity midfield unit, offering technical depth to control the tempo of the game.
Peter Ricks (Freshman / Midfielder & Defender): A highly versatile freshman who can drop back to support the backline or push into a defensive midfield role when the game script demands a physical presence.
