They lost their keeper, Elias Amman, to graduation. But the rest of the defense for the Embry-Riddle men’s soccer team looks strong going into the 2025 season. The Eagles will have a lot of experience in the backfield with returning players Francesco Busini, an All-GSAC selection from last season; Luke Thomas, who had four assists as a defender in 2024; Dario Adjini, who had 18 starts last year; and Chino Valley product Ravi Halladay, who had 17 starts last season.
Other key returners for Riddle this season include Nitai Bental, who recorded five goals and two assists last year and made the All-GSAC team; Aleksandar Mihajlovic; another All-GSAC selection with three goals and two assists in 2024.
The Eagles begin the season for real August 24th with a home game versus Justice University.
