Another Division I transfer will join the Simon Fraser University men's soccer program this fall.
Shane Satar, originally from Pickering, Ont., comes to SFU from the University of Buffalo Bulls.
"Shane is already an accomplished student athlete and will transfer to us with two years of college experience under his belt," said Clan head coach Alan Koch in a press release. "He will come in and compete for playing time immediately as he has already played numerous NCAA matches over the last two seasons. We are expecting him to come in and be an exciting full-back that will help with our defensive shape, but also give us an extra dimension in attack too."
In two seasons at the University of Buffalo, Satar started in 26 of 35 games played.
"I have heard a lot of great things about the University both athletically and academically," said Satar in the release. "I feel like SFU is an ideal place to develop as a player and continue my education. I'm a defensive player with an offensive mindset. I am quick, aggressive and sharp on the ball."
This past season, Satar was named the Player's Player of the Year at Buffalo and was also recognized as an all-region player by Upper 90 and Western New York Magazine.
"Next season, I hope to make an immediate impact by contributing as much as I can to the team in pursuit of competing for a NCAA championship. When you step into any new environment, it's not so easy to adjust to at first. However, by playing consistently for two years in Division I and facing some top opponents along the way, I feel like I am prepared for the challenge," said Satar.
Satar will join the Clan for training camp next month as the team prepares to take a run at their fifth straight Great Northwest Athletic Conference title, third straight NCAA west region crown and first NCAA championship.
