The Oregon State men’s soccer team opened 2014 training with a pair of practices on Wednesday, as the team prepares for the upcoming campaign. The Beavers will kick off the season with home games on Aug. 29 and 31, as they take on Evansville and Central Florida at Paul Lorenz Field. As the Beavers look toward their opening games, they arrived at practice fit and ready to go. Oregon State returns the core of its defense from the 2013 season, as senior Will Seymore and redshirt-junior Brenden Anderson are both back with the team after starting all 19 games last year as the Beavers’ centerback pairing. The duo is joined by redshirt-junior goalkeeper Matt Bersano, who set the Oregon State record with 101 saves and helped the team keep five clean sheets in 2013.
