John Dempster's 2018 Outlook:

"I believe we are starting to turn the corner and will look like the Manor soccer teams of old.  We are used to a winning tradition, and, I want to bring it back.  Last year, we were close, but, this year, I believe we will make a breakthrough and show the region that Manor Soccer is back!  We have a strong returning core, mixed in with freshman talent, the confidence and swagger is there, and all we need to do now is prove it on the field."
