PHILADELPHIA- The Temple Men's Soccer team has tied for fourth in the American Athletic Conference 2020-21 men's soccer preseason poll, as voted on by league coaches. Senior defender Pierre Cayet highlights the individual awards, as the French native has been named the AAC preseason Defensive Player of Year. He is the first-ever Temple player to earn the honor.
Cayet enters the final season of his Temple career following a stellar junior year. The defender played every minute of the 2019 season leading an Owl backline that allowed the second least goals in the conference (22).
