Coming off a tough 2012 season, the Lindbergh boys soccer team hopes to improve through the season and stay competitive.

Last year, the Eagles soccer team had only one returning starter, Troy Jaramillo, and that reflected in the school’s 2-14 record.

But with Jaramillo, the team’s leading scorer and an All-Seamount League first team player, lost to graduation, coach Ryan Johnson said he is looking to underclassmen to lead.

“The overall talent in this program has increased with the incoming freshman class and the addition of a few upperclassmen,” Johnson said in an email.

Johnson said sophomore midfielder Efrain Velasco and junior midfielder/forward Mengistiab Woldearegay were two to watch on this year’s Eagles team.

Lindbergh opens its season at 7:30 Friday against Foster at Renton Memorial Stadium.
