Soccer

* Lee University men's soccer coach Derek Potteiger recently commented on the previously reported signings of Eemeli Makela from Division II-AA state champion Baylor and Jonah Bryan from state runner-up McCallie. "(Eemeli) brings a wealth of playing experience and a skill set that fits really well with what we are trying to build here at Lee," Potteiger said of the Finland native. "He has played at a very high level both here in the United States and internationally." Defender Bryan has state-title and runner-up finishes both with McCallie and his Nashville club team, and Potteiger said, "Jonah had a number of great opportunities in front of him in terms of where he wanted to play college soccer, but we are thrilled that he decided on Lee. Jonah is an absolute physical force in the back but also shows great composure and is quite good on the ball."
