The coaching staff of the La Roche College men's soccer team is very excited about the upcoming 2008 season. After a great season a year ago with a very young team, losing a heart breaking 0-1 game in the AMCC conference Quarter finals, seeing three players; Reuben Jolo (SO), Dalibor Bradaric (JR) and Ousman Jaiteh (SO) all being named to the AMCC All Conference Teams! 2007 saw the Redhawks put it's first player in school history on the Mid-Atlantic All Region Team; Reuben Jolo (SO) who also holds the Redhawks single season record for most points in a season with 30. The Redhawks have a lot to build on for the 2008 season and can't wait to get started! The La Roche College Redhawks will have all but 3 starters returning from a year ago and will have 10 new faces in camp come this August. This should make for a very good pre-season and a competitive group once league play begins. You can also see this in the players, all you have to do is walk through the Kerr Fitness Center on any given day or evening and you will find members of the men's soccer team running, lifting or playing pick-up. This group of current players is very dedicated to reaching their goals and making it to the conference championships! And with a talented recruiting class coming in this fall we should have all of the pieces to be at the top of the conference once again.
The Redhawks are currently a member of the following The conferences, NCAA, ECAC AND AMCC. The fall 2004 season will bring 3 additional colleges to the AMCC, which will give the conference the automatic qualifier for the NCAA National Tournament.
