2025 - 2026 Preview Information

Coach Name
Raudel Damian
Strengths
Our team enters the season with a strong core of seniors who have been with the program for four years, bringing valuable leadership and experience. The players carry forward the discipline instilled by the previous coach, and combine it with a mentality to win that drives them every day. We are well organized, committed to pressing together as a unit, and take pride in playing with intensity on both sides of the ball.

Returning
Bryan Juarez (Class of 2027)
Bryan made an immediate impact as a freshman with 10 goals and 12 assists across 16 varsity games, earning a Player of the Match award and finishing second on the team in total points. As a sophomore, he battled back from an injury that sidelined him for half the season, showing resilience and leadership. Now fully healthy, Bryans creativity, pressing, and finishing ability make him one of the Cougars top threats and a player to watch this season.

Daniel Delgado-Perez (Class of 2026)
As a sophomore, Daniel produced solid results with 5 points from 2 goals and 1 assist over 10 varsity matches. Hes earned a spot as a dependable midfielder and currently serves as a team captain, bringing leadership and consistency to the lineup. Daniel also ranks among the teams notable contributors in career points

Newcomers
Andrew Garcia (Class of 2028)
Andrew joins the varsity squad as a freshman center back and has already shown strong potential. With his physical presence, composure on the ball, and ability to read the game, he brings stability to the back line. Andrews work ethic and promise make him an exciting newcomer to watch this season.
