Men’s Soccer Team Heading to National Tournament
Raritan Valley Community College’s Men's Soccer team is headed to the National Tournament next week. The Lions—with an impressive regular season of 11-3-1—will vie for the title among the eight best teams in the nation on November 9 at New York’s Genesee Community College.
The Region 19 champions left their opponents scoreless in eight out of 14 games for the 5th best defense in the nation, demonstrating hard work, grit, and determination. All-American nominee Omar Seoudy and Donte East, Region 19's leading scorers, are ranked in 8th and 9th place respectively nationally.
Sophomore Donte East, Second Team All-Region, added another individual accolade to his record, picking up “Offensive Player of the Year.” Goal Keeper Kevin Perez was named “Defensive Player of the Year,” as he produced two stunning saves in the Region 19 Championship final. Coach Mike Mohr and Head Coach Mark Malchow were both honored as “Coach of the Year” for their hard work and determination in preparing the team for the season.
