Furman Soccer Adds Two Transfers

Greenville, S.C. -- Furman men's soccer coach Doug Allison announced the
addition of two transfers on July 25. Kevin Norman will be joining the
Furman program after a year at St. John's while Ryan Nesbitt transfers
from Anderson College.

Norman , a native of Diego, Trinidad, logged 209 minutes of action as a
midfielder and defender in nine matches for the Red Storm in 2002 before
suffering a season ending injury . Norman is the second player in this
incoming class to transfer from St. John's, as Mark Futrell committed to
Furman in the winter.

A native of Pembroke, Bermuda, Nesbitt played in and started 18 matches
for the Trojans in 2002. The forward tallied six goals, two assists and 14
points a year ago. Both Nesbitt and Norman will enter Furman with
sophomore eligibility.

"We are excited to add these two talented transfers," said Furman head
coach Doug Allison. "These two excellent student-athletes should round out
this incoming recruiting class well."

Furman , ranked ninth in the nation by College Soccer News, opens its
season on August 29, when it battles preseason top-ranked Maryland in the
Diadora Challenge at Creighton University. The Paladins open their home
schedule versus South Florida on September 5, in the Diadora/Spinx Furman
Invitational.

The Paladins have qualified for the NCAA Tournament each of the past four
seasons. Furman currently owns an NCAA record 43-match Southern Conference
unbeaten streak as it has won the last four Southern Conference titles.
