SIU soccer squad deserves recognition as a team

Dear Editor:

Soccer, like many team sports, has positions, with each having their unique responsibility. As a central midfielder, I try to fulfill and perform my tasks to the best of my ability in order for the team to win. Due to this, you cannot call one or two players the best on a team. Each starting player is the best at their position. If you put me in goal or at sweeper, I could not fulfill the duties required better than our regular starters on the team. Therefore, I am humbled by the mention in Tuesday's Daily Egyptian, but at the same time apprehensive about being called one of the two best players on the team. The men's soccer club is full of gifted student athletes, all deserving recognition.
