Entering the fall season, economics senior Jason Stacy was destined to be a crucial player for the Spartan men’s soccer team. After being named a Big Ten preseason player to watch, as well as being the top returning scorer for the Spartans with four goals and seven assists, Stacy was more than motivated to achieve success in his senior season. However, on Wednesday October 8th Stacy faced a roadblock on his path to success. “I tore my PCL on Wednesday against Oakland and need to surgery,” Stacy said.
