WICHITA, Kan. – Friends University senior forward Marcos Recio Blanco (SR/Santander, Spain) and senior midfielder Roberto Gomes (SR/Bello Horizonte, Brazil) have each been selected to the KCAC Men's Soccer Preseason Team, the league announced today (Sept. 18).

Recio Blanco was a KCAC honorable-mention choice in 2018 after recording four goals and dishing out a pair of assists.

Also an all-conference honorable-mention performer last year, Gomes finished second on the team with nine goals while also contributing two assists in the 2018 campaign.

The duo helped the Falcons finish third in the KCAC last season with a 9-3 conference mark and advance to the conference tournament semifinal round.

Under first-year head coach Joe Dincecco, the Falcons are off to a roaring start this season, riding a four-game win streak for a 4-1 record.

Friends is gearing up to open KCAC action next Tuesday night (Sept. 24) at home vs. Avila University at 8:30 pm in the friendly confines of Adair-Austin Stadium.
