·22 min·2 clips

Joe Min, a D-III transfer with 18 goals, could transform Seton Hall's attack if he adapts to Division I.

The episode begins with hosts Thomas Koala and Sean Casey introducing the preview of Seton Hall men's soccer for the 2025 fall season. They start by reviewing the previous season, noting it was more success than failure but ended with a faltering record in conference play at 4-3-1. The discussion moves to key departures, including top goal scorer Jared Smith with four goals, midfielder John Vigner, and goalkeeper Soren Jansen. The hosts then explore newcomers, highlighting freshman midfielder Valentino Solari from Argentina and transfer goalkeeper Mick Sipples from Central Connecticut State. A major focus is on transfer Joe Min from Richland College, a D-III player who scored 18 goals last season and could address Seton Hall's scoring issues. Returning players are analyzed, with Teal Koshke identified as the team's best player after tying for team-high assists as a sophomore. Other returners mentioned include Sam Bjork on defense and Nico Rubio. The schedule is broken into non-conference and conference parts, with key games noted against Rutgers on August 24th, St. Louis, and home matches versus Akron and UConn. The hosts discuss the team's defensive-minded style under Coach Lindbergh, who is entering his 10th season. They predict the Pirates will make the playoffs again, possibly as a 3-4 seed, but stress the need to find a reliable goal scorer. The episode concludes with a look at the season opener against Lafayette on August 21st at ONC Carroll Field.
