Cook Named to A-10 Preseason Team

Men's Soccer

Despite not yet having reached summer's midpoint, that fact hasn't stopped the Atlantic 10 from previewing the upcoming men's soccer season.

The league named senior defender Kenny Cook to its Preseason All-Conference Team. Cook joins three representatives from both Saint Louis and Rhode Island on the nominal squad.

The senior leads a UMass team that excels in its defensive style of play. The Minutemen led the conference with 10 shutouts last season and also posted a 0.53 goals-against average. But the team's defensive prowress took a toll on its offensive - a unit ranked next to last in the A-10, while scoring only 0.74 goals per conference game last season.
