Matthew Moline '23 Recruiting Profile

My primary goal as an athlete is to always compete, no matter the score and to exceed the expectation of coaches and teammates.  My additional goals include, giving my best effort in practice and during matches, building chemistry with coaches and teammates and ultimately becoming a better person from the experiences.  I've played played soccer from age 5 onwards and I play it one-way:  competitively.  I make a good candidate for consideration because I study the game by watching skilled players and incorporating what I see into my play.  My coaches say I understand the game better than most players my age and that sets me apart.  Most of my experience has come from playing wing/forward positions and this fall I spent the majority of the season playing OB (predominantly right side), with the dual responsibility to push up with numbers and be a part of the attack.   I kept the wingers contained and frustrated their attempts to cross the ball.  While scoring goals are fun, I honestly do not care who scores and will pass to whomever has the best opportunity to help the team succeed.
