Century Men's Soccer
advanced to the NJCAA Region 13 Final after beating Riverland CC 6-0. In the
final, Century College faced off with cross-town and regional rival,
Anoka-Ramsey CC. Century College scored six minutes into the game. Sophomore
Forward Zach Wilmes of Cottage Grove, MN, got on the end of a cross, played by
Kirk Garrity (Freshman, Right Winger from Manchester, England) and directed to
the corner of the far post. Anoka-Ramsey goalkeeper had no chance of making the
save.
Despite having a few
more clear-cut chances to extend their lead, Century College held strong
defensively the rest of the match to preserve the 1-0 win. The win gives the
Century College Men's Soccer team back-to-back Region 13 titles (2013,2014).
The team will now focus their efforts to the District C Championship (October
31-November 1), in which they hope to defend that title as well.
