Burgundy Wave Player Grades

Player: Dillon Serna

Position: Midfielder

2015 Statistics

Highlight of the Year: There can be just one....and for Serna it was a beaut.  You remember this goal don't you?

Lowlight of the Year: Honestly, the lowlight for Serna was the banishment from the coaching staff.  Someone who is getting regular call-ups to the U-23 team and is creative, exciting and committed to the team should get more than just 680 minutes.  But since this coaching staff does not know what it is doing, perhaps this is not a shock at all.

2015 Grade (B): Serna had a good year, but was hamstrung by a coaching staff who preferred veterans over young, exciting players.

2016 Outlook: Goodness, if I am Serna I would want to run like hell from this team, but I think he is back next year and I hope that he gets more playing time.  He brings pace, dynamic play and excitement to a team that sorely needs it.  Play Serna next year and let's see how it goes.
