Varsity boys soccer

The 2015 Boys Soccer Season came to an end after a loss to Newark Academy in the second round of the playoffs. With the season in the rearview mirror, the team, lead by senior captains Jason Englishmen and Kyle Dykstra have a lot to be proud of. We more than doubled our win total from the previous season, we hosted our first playoff game in the careers of the seniors (a dominant 7-0 victory over Queen of Peace), and we grew a lot as a team and as a program. On senior night, perhaps the season’s high point, EC played some of our best soccer of the season- a dominating 4-0 victory over Manchester with EC controlling the ball on both offense and defense. We will greatly miss our seniors next year- they contributed in a major way to the program over their four year career and culminated with a great season in their final year. Post season awards: Jason Englishmen and Henry Ruitenberg earned all-league 2nd team. Kyle Dykstra and Sam Veenstra were honorable mention. Congratulations to the team on a great season- and a personal “Thank you” from Coach Gesch. You made my first season at EC a great one!
