Binghamton men's soccer inks three high school standouts

VESTAL, N.Y. -- The Binghamton men's soccer team has announced the aquisition of three high school seniors. Each of them signed a National Letter of Intent and will join the Bearcats for the 2008 season as freshman.

Cameron Wylie (Pine Grove, Pa.) is a midfielder from Pine Grove Area High School. Named to the NSCAA/All-Region squad as a senior. He also earned all-state honors from the Pennsylvania Soccer Coaches Association (PSCA) in 2007. During his career, he scored 45 goals and tallied a school-record 47 assists.

Andy Tiedt (Akron, N.Y.) is a forward from Akron High School. He scored a state-record 62 goals as a senior and finished his career with 162 goals, the eighth-best total in New York state history. Tiedt led his squad to the Section VI and Western Region championships as well as an appearance in the state Class B semifinal. He was a 2007 fourth-team New York State Sports Writers Assocation (NYSSWA) all-state selection.

Ryan Walter (Buffalo, N.Y.) is a midfielder from Nichols High School. He was named third-team all-state by the NYSSWA as a senior and was both the team MVP and leading goal scorer. Last summer, he was a member of the Western Region at the Empire State Games.

Binghamton went 14-6-0 in 2007, won the America East regular season title for the second year in a row and advanced to its fifth consecutive conference championship game.
