After missing the entire 2017 season and a portion of 2016 due to a hip injury and a torn PCL, cutter Brad Scott will be back in a DC Breeze uniform for the 2018 season. Scott and 10 other key returning players have been signed so far for the upcoming season.
The DC Breeze pulled away in the final minutes to beat the New York Empire yesterday, 28-25. The Empire (2-4) went on a 5-1 run late in the 3rd quarter to overcome a 19-15 deficit and tie the game at 21, but the Breeze (5-2) found another level of effort from that point and would not give up another break in the game.
In this episode, host Greg Esser sits down with UMD grad and 2nd year Breeze player Max Cassell. They discuss the 2017 season so far, strategies to contain Jeff Babbitt and other NY stars in the big rivalry game this weekend, his early ‘chemistry’ with Tyler Monroe, prospects for local college teams at regionals and Natties, his UMD/Breeze teammates Nathan Prior and John Walden, and some of those insider things that happen…
The Breeze completed their 2017 extended roster with the announcement of 14 additional players today. It’s a mix of young and veteran talent including one 18-year old still in high school (Malks) and two who return to the Breeze after very successful 2014 campaigns followed by a 2-year hiatus (Solis and Nam).
