PHILADELPHIA - Temple University men's soccer players Mackenson Altidor and Jared Harris have been named to the 2007 Atlantic 10 Conference Preseason All-Rookie Team. Altidor and Harris highlight a strong incoming class that includes seven players that have signed National Letters of Intent to play men's soccer for the Owls.
