The Quest for the Cup: Roc City Boom Announce Dynamic 2025-2026 Roster Additions

ROCHESTER, NY — The Roc City Boom of Major Arena Soccer League 3 (MASL 3) are leaving no doubt about their intentions for the 2025-2026 season: a National Championship is the only goal. Building on a near-perfect run last season, the club has bolstered its lineup by confirming the return of key veteran talent and integrating a group of elite playmakers poised to make an immediate impact at the Rochester Sports Garden.

The Bedrock of Roc City: Veteran Leadership Returns

Leading the charge is the player-coach and defensive general, Jake Schindler. A titan of the indoor game, Schindler's leadership and tactical awareness are the foundation of the Boom's system. He is joined by essential returning players who form the spine of the championship-contending side:

    •    Jeremy Loncao: The veteran of the defense, Loncao's knowledge of the game is vital to the Boom's transition game.

    •    Dan Reger: A formidable presence on the defensive wall, Reger's physicality and experience shut down the league's top attackers.

    •    Alastair Farmer: A reliable and versatile veteran who provides crucial depth and stability across the pitch.

    •    Joe Balls: Returning with his trademark technical skill and relentless work ethic in the attacking third.

Electrifying Additions: New Firepower on the Pitch

Head Coach Marc Mandell has strategically added a blend of local talent and high-impact attackers to an already potent offense. These returning faces are expected to provide the firepower necessary to secure the league title:

    •    Jameson Railey & Andrew O’Neill: Dynamic playmakers expected to ignite the offense with their speed and creativity.

    •    Matt Schuber: A clinical finisher with a knack for finding the back of the net in crucial moments.

    •    Fernando "Nando" Furioso: A familiar name to Rochester soccer fans, Nando brings explosive pace and an ability to create opportunities out of nothing.

    •    Eduardo Figueroa & Alex Vega: Key additions that deepen the squad and ensure the Boom can maintain a high level of play throughout the grueling MASL 3 season.

    •    Luca Dodge: A savvy addition to the defensive corps, providing tactical discipline and solid positional play.

    •    Alan Ibarra:  A reliable and versatile Goalkeeper who provides crucial depth and stability across the pitch.

Unfinished Business: The Road to the Championship

The message from the front office and the players is clear: last season’s finals loss has fueled a fire for redemption. With this talented and balanced roster, the Roc City Boom are poised for a dominant campaign.

"We have one goal this year," said Schindler. "We're running it back with a core group that knows what it takes to win, and we've added the missing pieces to finish the job."

Fans won't want to miss a moment of the action. The Roc City Boom are kicking off their home games at the Rochester Sports Garden this winter.
