The Men's Soccer Team would like to thank their Sophomores for an amazing
season. These players lead the team to the most wins in school history. They
also took the team to its first playoff appearance in school history. They
ensured now that when ever a team plays the Hawks, they know it is going to
be a battle. So the coaching staff wish to thank, Natanael Torrijos, Benny
Figgs, Carlos Marin-Landa, Jon Scott, Matt Otricelli, Josh Muncy, Hased Anvari, and
Prince Vabosa.
They all played an invaluable part in making this season the best ever in program history. We as the coaching staff will take pride in watching these sophomores go on in play soccer at various NJCAA programs next season. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication both on the field and in the classroom!
Omar Jarwan was selected to the Region 19 All-Region team. Omar had an
amazing freshmen year. He was the most skilled player on the field in every
game we played this year. He has a work ethic second to none. He has great
vision with the ball, and the ability to put a ball wherever he wants. He
raises the skill level of everyone he plays with. As only a freshmen, we
look forward to Omar stepping up to a leadership role on our team for next
year.
