  Men's Soccer 2007 Signings  
     
  MATT BIRK

Matt joins the Avila Men’s Soccer program after a very successful career playing for St. Francis Borgia HS in Washington, MO. under Coach Duane Haddox.Matt played for the St. Louis Metro Strikers Soccer Club as well. He is a creative distributing Midfielder who will hopefully generate numerous scoring opportunities for Avila’s front running players as well as be a dangerous threat himself.

Matt joins former Metro Strikers players Tim and Tom Wolf at Avila.



STEPHEN CARTER

Stephen comes to Avila as a speedy aggressive forward, having played for Coach Dan Porter at Raytown South HS in Raytown, MO. He has also played for the JC Real Madrid Soccer Club under Denny Lint. Stephen is the second player from Real Madrid to join the Avila program, the first being Brian Berger, a Junior from Emporia.

Stephen’s speed is something the Avila program has needed and he will hopefully offer a significant punch to Avila’s scoring opportunites.



DAN CURRO

Looking for a strong, hard nosed, aggressive “target player,” Avila was fortunate to sign Dan Curro from Nixa, MO. Dan played his high school Soccer for Coach Evan Palmer at Nixa HS and also competed for several Southwest Missouri Club programs, including Total Soccer and as a guest player for the Springfield Soccer club.

Dan’s strength and ability to finish scoring opportunities should add a significant threat to Avila’s scoring arsenal.



AARON HEINITZ

Aaron is joining Avila’s program after a successful career at Grandview HS under Coach Steve Korth as well as also playing for KC Real Madrid Soccer Club under Coach Denny Lint. His speed and ability to present to ball in front of the goal should offer Avila added depth in the attack as well.



CHRIS KALICAK

Chris comes to Avila from Duchesne Catholic HS in St. Charles, MO., having played there for Coach Dave Thurmer. Chris joins fellow Duchesne graduate Dan Myers, currently a Sophomore at Avila. Chris’ 6’2” frame as a Goalkeeper is an intimidating presence to opposing attacking players and he will certainly be part of a three way battle for the Goalkeeper position.
