Men's Soccer Set to Open Spring Season
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State men’s soccer team opens the 2008 spring season this weekend season as the Beavers travel to Portland, Ore., on Saturday, April 5, to take on Portland at 10:00 a.m. and the Portland Timbers at 12:30 p.m.
The Beavers begin preparation for the 2008 fall season this weekend as Oregon State finished last season with an 8-10-2 overall mark and a Pac-10 record of 3-5-2.
Josh Cameron is the leading returning scorer for the Beavers after finishing last season with two goals, seven assists and 11 points.
The Beavers began training for the spring season throughout the winter term as the team held individual workouts and focused on strength training and endurance. Four Oregon State players had the opportunity to train with professional squads over the course of spring break.
Ryan Callahan, Josh Cameron and Daniel Leach traveled to Denver, Colo., to train with the Colorado Rapids of the MLS while Tim Kelly spent his time training with the City Stars of USL in Cleveland, Ohio.
Following the first weekend of spring play on the road, the Beavers will return home for eight more contests. Oregon State opens spring play at home on Wednesday, April 9, as the Beavers host Concordia College at 5:00 p.m. before a 7:30 p.m. contest against the Portland Timbers.
