About the Chargers

DRASTIC IMPROVEMENTS: Though the season is only four games old, it is already quite apparent that this year's squad has improved greatly from a year ago. For example, the Chargers have already scored six times in just three home games after tallying five goals all of last year at Charger Park. Also, Kyle Simmons has scored four times to sit just one off of his team-best mark from last year, and the team's backline – led by Isleifur Gudmundsson and Halldor Bogason – is helping freshman keeper Will Carpenter to allow just 1.00 goals per game, which is well off of last year's 3.06 number.
 
MOVING ON UP: With his two goals against Montevallo on Sunday, Simmons notched his 21st and 22nd career goals, moving him into the top-20 all-time at UAH as he now sits 18th. If the junior continues at his current pace, he could rapidly move into the top-1o this year as Fred Schuler sits in seventh with 28 career scores.
 
LOGGING TIME: Defenders Esra Arnason, Andrew Ingram, and Gudmundsson have each played every minute thus far this season. The trio is part of a defensive unit that has held the opposition to the 1.00 goals per game, and while the team has surrendered 51 shots, only 23 have been on goal. Arnason and Gudmundsson have also been involved offensively as Arnason assisted on a strike against Montevallo and Gudmundsson was credited with a goal against Lincoln Memorial.
