The Spartans captured their first ever NJCAA Region III men's soccer title with a 3-0 win over Jamestown CC hosted by Tompkins-Cortland CC. Josh Grace (Glasgow, Scotland) got the Spartans on the board in the first half off a header on an assist from Sean Richards (Cadiff, Wales). Connor Field (Felixstowe, England) tallied the second score on an unassisted goal. Tom Rivet (London, England) netted the third goal on another header on a cross from Sean Wynn (Liverpool, England). The Spartan defenders led by Grace, Connor Doogan (Belfast, Ireland), Michael Haskins (Belfast, Ireland) and Ashley Brown (Birmingham, England) controlled the Jayhawk offense for most of the contest.
Grace was named the Tournament MVP for his efforts...while Field and Wynn were named to the All-Tournament Team. Head Coach Darren Wynne was also named Region III Coach-of-the-Year for 2014.
With the victory, Cayuga earns a spot in the NJCAA National Tournament November 13-16 which will be hosted by Herkimer CCC. The Spartans await their seeding and first round opponent for the Nationals...which comes out on Monday.
