A 2014 Xavier grad, Eric Osswald is in his second year with the club, and he's starting this season as second-choice again. Osswald, 24, is behind Lalo Fernandez, but international call-ups and injuries may see him earning starting minutes as the season wears on.
Last season: Osswald played eight matches and conceded nine goals, which was actually extremely good, considering Fernandez averaged 1.7 goals conceded, a metric not of quality but of the defensive situation at the club. Osswald showed surprising growth over the season, though, and he was probably the Monarchs' most improved player.
