Senior duo named captains for 2016

NEWPORT, R.I. - Salve Regina University head coach Craig O'Rourke II has named his captains for the 2016 men's soccer season. Seniors Steven Aston (Sherborn, Mass.) and Nolan Brady (Needham, Mass.).

 "Our program is fortunate to have Steven returning for his senior year this fall.  In addition to being an all-conference back on the field, he is the true leader and 'alpha' male within our roster that surges to the front and takes charge of all of the behind-the-scenes logistics that keep our program moving forward," said O'Rourke. "And I'm very pleased to have Nolan joining him in the captaincy.  As the reigning Offensive Player of the Year for our conference, Nolan's skills and abilities are beyond reproach and while Steven leads through his voice and command, Nolan does it through his play and the example that he sets to the rest of the roster." 

Aston enters his fourth year as a Seahawk, having earned All-Conference honors as a back, the past two seasons. This will be his second year as a captain of the program.

Brady, scored 12 goals and notched three assists in 2015 to lead the Seahawks. His 12 goals tied for the most in the conference and earned him Offensive Player of the Year. Brady's most prolific stretch this season came October 10-17, when he notched five goals in the Seahawks' back-to-back wins over Roger Williams and Eastern Nazarene. 

The Seahawks open the 2016 season September 2 at Plattsburgh State.
