The 2013 soccer season at Penn State Wilkes-Barre will be very exciting. Several upperclassmen will be returning to the team, which will be led by a new head coach. Head coach James Bell will be focusing on teamwork rather than individual success. Bell said, "My strategy is and has always been to have my team play as a team, because one person can't take on the eleven others." The team will also be more challenged this season by being required to come to practice and given a difficult preseason workout schedule in order to be ready for the regular season.
