Felix Aakerberg also joined Linden all contributing two goals out of the Mocs 23 last year. In between the polls, Mocs will see time between three different keepers as they look to fill the role of veteran

Along with his current staff of associate head coach,
Antony Moore, and assistant coach
Pablo Gallo Arias '19, Holmes adds a new goalkeeper coach in
Sergio Rapuano. Rapuano is joining the program with over 30 years of coaching experience bringing experience from all levels of competition from youth to professional, his most recent coaching at Broward University. Prior to that, he was on the sidelines for DI Columbia University, Longwood University, USL team Indy Eleven, as well as working with the US Virgin Islands men's and women's national teams.
