Tanke, a native of Niles, was one of only five players to start in all 18 games for Rhode Island University last fall. Overall he appeared in 65 games for the Rams during his collegiate career.

“Michael’s desire and mentality is why we signed him. He’s a ball winning midfielder that is willing to do all the dirty work for the team,” said Lilley.
