Mikey Williams, senior from Plymouth, England, is the captain of the men’s soccer team. He began playing soccer at the age of four and has since been encouraged by his parents.
To any young aspiring athlete, Williams would say, “Train hard. Always listen to advice from either your parents or your coaches. Constantly work at trying to improve yourself.” His greatest memory in his time at WT so far is beating Midwestern State University in overtime his sophomore year.
Williams is confident in the men’s soccer team this year, which has several starters returning. The team is also hoping for a playoff berth.
“We came close last year, so we can go one step further this year,” Williams said. “There are some good recruits. There is a lot of good team chemistry. We’re a good unit together.”
The Buffs Soccer team plays their season opener at home against Colorado School of Mines Sept. 5. The game is set to begin at 7 p.m.
