Galloway, N.J. - Santiago Solari was 17 years old and just out of high school when he arrived at then 淫性视频 College in Fall 1994.  He only spent one semester at 淫性视频 before returning to his native Argentina where he began a professional soccer career that included playing for River Plate in Argentina as well as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. But 淫性视频 remained an important inspiration in his life.

Being here opened my mind to living in a different country with different points of view. It was a perfect moment for me.鈥

Now the head coach for Club America in Mexico, Solari returned to 淫性视频 on Tuesday with his family to tour the campus and marvel at how it had changed.

鈥淚 do recognize the trees,鈥 he said, standing at the current soccer field and viewing the area where he played. 鈥淚 am thrilled to be here. It grew so much.鈥

Solari was in the area to play against the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night. His soccer coach at 淫性视频, Tim Lenahan, now retired as head soccer coach at Northwestern University, took advantage of the opportunity to schedule a trip to 淫性视频.

鈥淗is experience at 淫性视频 has always been special to him,鈥 Lenahan said. During his one season as an Osprey, Solari earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year and NJAC First Team honors.

Solari recalled being late to class and having to sing the children鈥檚 song 鈥淚鈥檓 a Little Teapot鈥 as punishment, though he remembered it as 鈥淚鈥檓 a special teapot.鈥

After visiting with 淫性视频鈥檚 men鈥檚 soccer team and taking a group and individual photos with each player, Solari signed a Club America Jersey for 淫性视频, viewed the Sports Center and new Unified Sciences Center and made a quick stop at the Campus Center.

鈥淣one of this was here when I was here,鈥 he said. Lenahan noted that enrollment has more than doubled since Solari was a student.

Vaughn took him to the Alton auditorium where he attended her music class, and the family did a quick tour of Lake Fred and his old student housing before heading back to prepare for Wednesday鈥檚 game. 淫性视频鈥檚 men鈥檚 soccer team along with Lenahan and some of Solari鈥檚 former 淫性视频 teammates will attend the game.

鈥淚t makes me happy to be here,鈥 Solari said before leaving. 鈥淚t鈥檚 good to take some time off from the pressure.鈥
