MCCC Men's Soccer Ready for 2012 Season

The Montgomery County Community College Mustangs men’s soccer team is looking forward to a strong start this Fall.

Second year Head Coach Matt Giordano reflects on his first season with the team. “I feel last season was a huge success for the program,” Giordano says. “We qualified for the regional playoffs after only the second year of being in the NJCAA Region 19.”

Giordano welcomes seven key returning players, including goalkeeper Edgar Ojeda, defenders Brian Maguire and Joe Mitsch, and versatile midfielders/forwards Corey Signore, Joel Obiri-Asare, Musa Ahamed and Nicholas Peachey.

The Mustangs team will look to these players to carry on momentum from the 2011 season. “Last year’s team laid the foundation of a new soccer culture at the College for future athletes to building upon.”

Incoming for the men’s soccer team are Pottstown natives, forward Tunde Oladipo and midfielder Victor Rosales. The two are joined by fellow promising additions Sean Robinson of Hatboro, Anthony Defrancesco of Chalfont and Brian Shim of Ambler.

“We have a big group of freshman coming in,” noted Giordano. “They have a lot of talent.”

The coaching staff will focus on building cohesion this season, in order to catapult the team to success. “We’ll be working hard trying to mold this large group of talented individuals into a cohesive unit that plays as well together as they do individually,” said Giordano. “It will be a challenge but if we succeed I think we can achieve even more than last season.”

The men’s soccer team is hopeful that they will once again make the regional tournament. The team is also looking to win the title in the newly formed Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (EPAC).
