Preseason 2006 - Waterloo

WATERLOO
March 18,2006 - Waterloo was the Finger Lakes-2 Champion last year with an 8-0 league record and 14-7 over all. Sophomore defenseman Josh Lewis was named to the All League list.

Seeded 3rd on the Class C side of the B/C tournament, the Indians finished 2nd with wins against Livonia (16-3), and Aquinas (15-4) before losing to Penn Yan in the finals (12-6). Senior midfielder Jason Johnson was named to the All Tournament Team. The Indians were 8th in Section Five in offense (10.33 / game) and 5th in defense (6.24 / game).

Twelve seniors graduated in 2005 and long time Head Coach Gary DeWall retired as well. Gone are goalie Pat DeBolt (Hofstra), attackmen Shawn Dunphy and Matt Haws. Jason Johnson, Gordy Lahr, T.J. Radka (Cayuga) and Kyle O’Connors and others graduated from the midfield. Greg Marsh and Rich Williams left from the defense.

Nearly half the team graduated last year, but there are a number of quality players returning. Josh Lewis is a standout defenseman and Boyd, Jolly and Mateo among others are proven players. Waterloo has a new Head Coach in Tyrone Thomas and a schedule that is manageable. Waterloo will do well in the Finger Lakes-2 division and should do well with the Class C teams.
