ORONO, Maine--University of Maine men's soccer senior forward Dimitri Anastasiou (Colchester, Conn.) has been named captain of the 2008 squad. He led Maine in scoring during the 2007 season. "I am pleased for Dimitri and his selection as captain of the 2008 Men's Soccer team," said head coach Pat Laughlin. "Dimitri has made great strides on and off the field in the past two years and is deserving of this selection. He is determined to lead this team and push us forward." Anastasiou has seen action in 49 career games the past three years, making 41 starts. He was one of just two players to start all 17 games a year ago. Anastasiou has six goals for 12 career points.
