Varsity soccer coach Bruce Munro has instituted a new offensive formation that promises to field one of the strongest Crimson teams ever. Munro's problem during pre-season has not been finding talent. but "putting it all together on the field...
Both players repeated on the All-Ivy first team after being the only sophomores named to it last year. Maybe next spring Ince will regain the crown. Or perhaps Johnsen will win it.
