Rochester, NY (Oct. 3, 2019) – The Rochester Lancers of the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL) are proud to announce the signing of their two Captains for the 2019/2020 season, Michael Lewis Cunningham and Anthony Rozzano. Both Captains are Lancers veterans with the Lancers NPSL outdoor team, and both dominated last season with the M2 Lancers. Per league and team policies, no further terms of the agreement were disclosed.
“These two players could play at any level in the Country; we are fortunate that they have decided to make Rochester their home.” Said Head Coach Doug Miller.
