DAYTON, OH - February 28, 2014 – The Dayton Dutch Lions FC (USL PRO) are proud to announce the return of goalkeeper Sean Teepen and forward Joseph Evan Broekhuizen.
Teepen made one appearance for the Dayton in 2013, playing in front of 5,000 fans in Richmond against the Kickers.
"Sean is a very talented goalkeeper with good presence in goal and has great shot stopping ability,” Dayton Dutch Lions head coach Sid van Druenen remarked. “He left a very good impression last season and will bring depth to our roster."
Teepen was a four-time NSCAA All-Region selection, winning four conference titles with the University of Charleston. He had similar success at the PDL level, winning the Great Lakes regular season championship with the Michigan Bucks.
"I am very excited to be coming back to the Dayton Dutch Lions,” Teepen added. “I signed mid- season last summer due to an injury so I am glad I was able to prove myself and re-sign for the 2014 season."
