DAYTON, Ohio – The University of Dayton men's soccer program and head coach Dennis Currier released the nine new additions to the Flyers for the upcoming 2014 season.

"With the loss of eight seniors, we had many holes to fill in our backline and midfield," said Currier.  "We feel this class addresses those needs.  Our goal is to have them come in prepared for preseason so we can maintain our success over the past two seasons.  They all have qualities we look for in a Dayton Flyer.   We look forward to working with this talented group."

The names of the new players are: Lance Gaspar, Dillon Nino, Nick Hagenkord, Michael Brezovsky, Aidan Bean, Danny Kelly, Zachary Kavanaugh, Brandon Moore, and Connor Ballantyne.
