Century College Men’s Soccer Team Ends 2013 Season on High Note

The Century College men’s soccer team ended their 2013 season on a high note. The team

advanced to the NJCAA National Tournament, held in Herkimer, New York for the first time in

program history.

Number 7 Century College faced off with an experienced, number 2 Montgomery College (MD)

team in their quarterfinal match. Montgomery College’s experience showed during the match

as they put a young Century team on their heels. Montgomery’s high powered attack was just

too much for the Century squad and they ended up winning 4-0.

The following day Century faced Camden County College (NJ). Century came out in this match and dominated. The match went to a penalty-kick shootout. Freshman Goalkeeper, Christian

Espitia, was able to make one huge save in the shootout, while Camden hit the post twice.

Freshman Defender, Ryan Flynn, eventually scored the match-winning penalty-kick, to give

Century their first victory at the tournament.

For Zach Wilmes’ efforts during the National Tournament, he was awarded by being named to

the 2013 NJCAA National All-Tournament team.

In the final polls of the 2013 NJCAA Men’s Soccer season, Century College is ranked #6 in the

nation.
