Senior Quartet Named 2019 Men’s Soccer Captains

Velez Angel was a staple in Suffolk's starting line-up a year ago making 12 appearances in the top 11 and put away three goals. 

Hines will lead the way from the backfield once again. The cornerstone to the Rams' defensive unit, the Bristol, Connecticut, product has yet to miss one of Suffolk's games since joining the squad in 2016 and has started all, but one. . In his three campaigns with the blue-and-gold he has added to the offensive output as well with one marker nad three helpers.
