36 Inside Hokie Sports
1 Brendan Moyers
Moyers started 16 games as a true freshman
last fall and provided some scoring punch,
collecting two goals and three assists. The
forward should be even more productive in
his second year within the system.
2 Rory Slevin
A midfielder, Slevin started 21 games last
season, scoring a goal and adding two
assists. With 38 career starts over his first
two seasons, the junior takes care of a lot of
the little things on the pitch and has emerged
as an important player for the Hokies.
3 Will Mejia
Mejia made the Top Drawer Soccer Best
Freshman XI first team last season after
starting all 22 games as a redshirt freshman.
The defender figures to play a large role in
replacing the leadership and production
vacated by the departures of Juan Pablo
Saavedra and Alessandro Mion.

4 Gino Rossi
Rossi started nine games as a redshirt
sophomore last fall and tallied a goal and
three assists. He has 21 career starts under
his belt and should be ready to put up even
bigger numbers this fall.
5 Forrest White
White scored the game-winning goal in
Tech’s stunning road upset of Indiana in the
NCAA tournament. With 36 career games
to his resume, the senior should play a more
prominent role from his midfielder position
this season.
