Abraham, a freshman midfielder from Garland, scored twice in his debut season with the Comets. He scored the game-winner in a 1-0 road win over East Texas Baptist in March.
A junior goalkeeper out of Katy, Nickel took over the starting job for the Comets mid-season and finished the spring with a 2-1-1 record with an 0.89 goals against average in 403 minutes in goal. Nickel has made just one start for the Comets in his previous two seasons with the squad.
Kuate, a junior midfielder out of Euless, scored once for the Comets this spring, tallying the game-winner in a 3-0 home win over LeTourneau. Beaney, a freshman from Allen, played in all seven games with five starts for the Comets as a defensive midfielder.
