Grade  B-

The Pack finished the 2010 season with a record of 10-8-2 (1-5-2 ACC).  The strong point of the soccer team was its impressive home win streak against non-conference opponents.  At Dail Soccer Field, the team finished undefeated in seven matches against nonconference foes.  

Senior Tyler Lassiter, freshman Sonny Mukungu, and junior Craig Sutherland all earned ACC Honors this season.  The team also earned an NCSAA award for its academic performance.  

The biggest story in men’s soccer was the retirement of head coach George Tarantini, who announced the decision shortly after the season’s conclusion.  He had served for 29 years as member of Wolfpack soccer.  His absence creates a large void in the soccer team as it returns next season.  

But with a highly-touted freshmen class now a year more experienced and all-conference worthy players like Mukungu and Sutherland returning, there is good reason to believe that this season was a sign of great things to come for a team looking for a new coach.
