HIGHLANDER MEN'S SOCCER SIGNS
LUCKEY AND ROSS FOR 2006
HOUGHTON,
N.Y.
– Tom Luckey (Houghton, N.Y. / Houghton Academy) and Steve Ross
(Auburn, N.Y. / Auburn) have signed national letters of intent
to play soccer at Houghton College, Highlander coach Matt Webb
announced today.
Luckey
was an active member of his high school’s varsity soccer team.
As a sophomore, he helped to lead the Panthers to a win in the
Section V class D championship and a 15-1-2 record overall.
Luckey totaled 16 goals and 20 assists during his career.
“Tom is a
welcome addition to the Highlander class of 2010,” said Coach
Webb. “Tom is a gifted athlete and with the proper training has
potential to contribute at the college level. Tom has grown up
watching us play and now has the opportunity to be a member of
our team. Tom is a great fit for Houghton College. I am
pleased to add him to the squad.”
Luckey is the
son of Peter and Nancy Luckey.
Ross
comes to Houghton with four years of varsity experience under
his belt, the latter two of which he served as team captain.
During his junior and senior seasons, he was named to the
All-League first team for the Onondaga High School League. He
was also active on local club teams, playing with the Cayuga
Lake Bankers until his sophomore year, and the Arsenal Academy
team from his sophomore through senior years.
“Steve is
going to be a very nice addition to our team,” said Coach Webb.
“As an attacking player, his quickness and tenacity will cause
trouble for our opponents. He will immediately be competing for
time in the midfield and up front. Steve is yet another strong
addition in what is shaping up to be an excellent recruiting
class. Joining Bryan Gerlach and Jesse Woolsey, Steve has also
been accepted into our Honors Program, evidence of his ability
in the classroom. Steve is a great fit for our men’s soccer
program.”
Ross is the
son of Bruce and Elaine Ross.
