Men’s Soccer Falls to Genesee in Regional Championship

The Cayuga Community College men's soccer season's quest for another trip to the NJCAA National Tournament ended yesterday, as the #4 seeded Spartans could not hold off the host and #1 seed Genesee losing 3-0. The team had their opportunities in outshooting the Cougars 11-8 on the afternoon…but could not simply find the back of the net. The Spartans played hard for 90 minutes and did control good portions of the contest against a nationally ranked team in a game that was played in brutal conditions of a driving rain and temperatures that didn't go above the low 40's. Cayuga's Mikel Abando (Bilboa, Spain) and Santiago Ortega (Madrid, Spain) were named to the All-Tournament team for their outstanding play.

 All-in-all….another great season for a program that is now being recognized nationally as a team to reckon with. A solid group of sophomores will need to be replaced, however, a great core of returning freshman should bring high expectations for the 2018 season.

Congratulations to Head Coach Petrut Bumbanac, his assistant coaching staff and all of the student-athletes who achieved great things this Fall.
