Head Coach Dan Griest commented on Volker’s signing: “Agustin is a player I am very high on coming into the summer. He has tremendous quickness and technical ability for a player of his size. Agustin plays with a tenacity not seen in many freshmen. He is not afraid to get stuck in and do the dirty work to help win balls back in possession, and he will play a valuable role for us as look to try to compete for the 2019 Great Lakes Division Championship once again."
Come see Agustin Volker in action this season at DOC Stadium in West Carrollton. The opening game is May 18 with a double header with the Women’s team, when the Men play Cincinnati Dutch Lions FC in their first of four derby’s in 2019. The game starts at 7pm while the Women kick off at 4pm.
