Overview

The Hiram men's soccer team enters this year with a lot to look forward to, as the program welcomes back 10 players from 2022 and brings in 25 new student-athletes, including 24 freshman. The mix of reliable veterans – notably Jeremy Sgro, an all-conference selection, and another defender in Travis Shrout – and intriguing young talent makes this upcoming season an exciting one for the Terriers.

Head coach Joe Chmura enters his second season with the program, previously picking up a win over Franciscan and coming close to beating Wooster for the first time since 2017. Keagan Le'Roux, Antonio Vitale and Vincent Rienzi are also back with the program and each getting set for their fifth season at Hiram.

Quotes From Coach Chmura

"It's a good group of guys. We're returning a strong group that's been pretty battle-tested. They understand what we're looking to accomplish and what it should look like. The players that we're bringing in as well, it's a lot of new blood. It's guys that are excited, ready to get to work and bring a good level of both character and ability on the field."

"We're poised to make a big jump right from the start."
