2010: The incumbent at center midfield continues
to provide a stabilizing force while developing into one of the
best at his position in the conference…his ability to take care of
the ball, stand up to defensive pressure, and facilitate the tempo
of the match will drive the team's success…already one of the
club's top passers, he is being pushed by the coaching staff to
become more of a scoring threat by exploiting fine ball skills and
a lethal shot.
2009: One of the GSAC's most consistent midfielders
missed only one match and started the other 24 in an ironman
performance…has started in all 42 matches he has played in as a
collegian…finished second on the team with seven assists…fed
teammates for two goals in a 7-1 wipeout of Southwestern (AZ) on
9/4/09…assisted on what turned out be the deciding goal (Marcelo
Silva) in a 2-1 edging of Westmont on 10/28/09 and was on the front
end of the match's first tally (Jake Marchesani) as the Mustangs
beat Biola 3-1 in the GSAC Tournament championship game on
11/14/09.
2008: A starter from the opening whistle, he was one
of six Mustangs to play in all 18 matches…tied for the team lead
with five assists…had a season-high two assists vs. SOKA on
9/23/08…assisted on Fabio Joaquim's match-tying goal vs. Biola on
9/27/08.
Lakewood High School: A three-year varsity starter for
Coach James Cross and the Lancers, he was the center of attention
his final two seasons when he scored 66 points…two-time team MVP
and Striker of the Year…following his junior campaign when he
tallied 26 points on 11 goals and four assists, he was named
first-team All-Moore League and was a second-team choice on the
Long Beach Press-Telegram's Dream Team…a year later he upped his
production to 40 points (16 goals, eight assists) and was named
Lakewood High School's Co-Athlete of the Year, repeated with
first-team all-league honors, and was an All-CIF Division II
second-team choice…also moved up to the Press-Telegram's Dream Team
first team. |
