Two additional incoming freshmen have been added to the nationally recognized 2004 Duke University Men's Soccer recruiting class. Head coach John Rennie has announced the signing of Kyle Kaveny (Cupertino, Calif.) and Kevin Stevenson (Raleigh, N.C.) to an already impressive class that was recognized by TopDrawerSoccer.com as one of the top recruiting classes in the country.

KAVENY, Kyle

Kyle Kaveny comes to Duke University with a great deal of experience at the youth level. Kaveny is currently a central defender on the nation's top-ranked San Juan SC Predators.
