About Eric

Eric plays midfield/forward for Newport News FC (Virginia Rank: 10th as of May 2010 with 63.2% winning average) and Tabb High School Junior Varsity (Rank: #1 in 10 game season) as starting forward STRIKER. Coach Cousineau states (2009 Club Season), “Of all the new players, I would consider Eric the MVP, Eric earned a starting position and proved to be able to play multiple positions.” In addition to soccer, he is an avid lacrosse player, plays middy/faceoff for his club and travel team, averaging 1-3 goals per game—heartbeat of the team and lead scorer with countless assists. Off season he cross-trains in Lacrosse, Club in-door soccer, High School in-door track, and club swim team during the summer. A natural athlete!
