BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Western Washington University head men’s soccer coach Greg Brisbon has announced the addition of six student-athletes for the upcoming 2017 season.
The class, composed entirely of players from the state of Washington, features two goalkeepers, two defenders and two midfielders. The group will join a WWU team that reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season in its first NCAA Division II Tournament appearance.
