With an undefeated conference record, the Men’s Soccer team clinched the title in the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference with an impressive 8-0 victory over Montgomery County Community College.

Led by 10 year coach Justin Burroughs, the Buck’s men’s soccer team has a 13-1 record on the year, with their only loss coming in the first game of their season.

Since then the Centurions have had two more conference victories; one being their 11-1 win over Leigh Carbon Community College on Oct. 4, which set a Bucks record for most goals scored in a game.

“This is a total team effort!” said Burroughs when asked how the team had managed to achieve such a feat. “With multiple student-athletes rotating in the starting line-up and playing various roles, it has made our team deep and extremely competitive. I’m very excited for everyone in the program, they deserve to win it.”

Forward Richard Domico, a sophomore from Neshaminy High School, is currently the NJCAA Division III’s top goal scorer in the country; making 28 goals on the season. Domico is also leading the nation in points this season with 62.

Goal Keeper Trevor Hopf, a sophomore from Council Rock South, was named the Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Player of the Week after his play during the first week of September.

“This season’s title shows how consistent our Men’s Soccer program is,” said Burroughs.

“We’ve made the playoffs seven out of the last eight years. We were runner-up in the EPAC the last two seasons. We have the most playoff wins by any Pennsylvania school.

We have high expectations of both the players and programs every year, so 4-year institutions have already taken notice of our student-athletes. The title just makes it official this season.

The Centurions will have four more non-conference games before starting their playoff run in the Quarterfinals on Oct. 25, semifinal game will take place Oct. 29, and the NJCAA Region XIX championship game is Nov. 1 at Ocean County College.

Buck’s student are encouraged to come out and show your support for the Centurions.
