NIAGARA UNIV., N.Y. – Niagara men's soccer head coach
Bill Boyle has announced the addition of three newcomers for the 2021 season. Kasra Greiner,
Breandan Kirwan and
Kevin Payne enrolled at Niagara in fall 2020.
"I am very excited to add Kasra, Breandan and Kevin to our team," said Boyle. "Breandan adds competition for the right back position, as well as adding age and experience to the roster. Kasra, as a graduate student, brings a ton of experience to the attack and will give more versatility in the midfield. Kevin, as a true freshman, brings a big presence to compete at center back from a great Vardar club in Michigan. I am sure these guys will add competition to their positions and will make us a better, deeper team to compete for a MAAC Championship."
