McCall said junior centerback Kenny Young has been a stalwart for his defense.
“He works his guts out every day,” McCall said. “We lost our starting goalie, a freshman, to an injury. We’ve had to get another player to fill in, whose primary position is not as a goalkeeper.
“Kenny has really communicated well with our defense and has stepped up, especially with the injury to our starter. He has held things together in the back.”
