The Atlantic boys soccer team is hoping to continue to grow the program under new head coach Mark Andersen. It won’t be a total reboot for the team as Andersen has been an assistant for the squad under previous coach Matt Smith the past two seasons. Coach Andersen said he hopes to carry over some of the mindset that Coach Smith was putting into place and add his spin into it.

Coach Andersen said numbers are a little low for the team this year and they have quite a few new faces so early on it’s expected to be a learning process.

When asked what he feels may be a strength for this year’s squad, Coach Andersen said they have a good number of aggressive offensive players.

The Trojans open up with a couple of matches this week against Riverside and Carroll.
