Michigan State men’s soccer assistant coach Ben Pirmann returns to the Soc Takes Pod ahead of his team’s trip to the College Cup this weekend in Santa Barbara, Calif. He joins co-hosts Kathryn Knapp and Kevin Johnston to size up the four remaining teams — Michigan State, Akron, Indiana and Maryland — vying for the national title, three of which come from the Big Ten.

Pirmann also provides a scouting report on some of the best professional prospects that’ll take the pitch at the College Cup. If you missed Pirmann’s previous appearance on the podcast, give Soc Takes Pod Ep. 41 a listen.
