As the Virginia men's soccer team looks toward the coming season, it sees two lofty goals: the ACC and NCAA championships. Anything less would be unsatisfactory for a team that in past years has seen disappointing postseason results obscure stellar regular season campaigns.
Led by six seniors for whom last year's 3-0 NCAA quarterfinal loss to Creighton was merely the latest in an annual date with frustration, team members have returned voluntarily to Charlottesville this summer for grueling workouts and training sessions.
"I think we all felt our exit out of the [NCAA] tournament was a little premature," senior midfielder Curtis Bush said. "It left a bitter taste in all of our mouths, and I think that has given us the impetus to come back early. I don't think you'll find many teams across the country whose entire roster is back for the summer and training earlier on volunteer workouts. That says a lot about what we think we are capable of this year."
