Mens Soccer Post-Season Wrap-Up

This season's SSFS Men's Varsity Soccer Team completed an astonishing 18-0-0 overall regular season and playoff campaign, registering a staggering 91 goals in favor versus 5 against. Laying claim to the program’s third PVAC League Championship, the Beests went on to complete the elusive conference double, and their dream season, by repeating as back-to-back PVAC Tournament Champions following a 2-0 victory over St. Anselm’s Abbey School in the Stadium Field of the Maryland SoccerPlex, furthering a tradition of nine consecutive winning seasons and counting. Among program firsts included victories over highly respected out-of-conference opponents Georgetown Day, The Heights, and Blake High School. Furthermore, the Beests proudly defended the Preuss Field, compiling a perfect 9-0-0 regular & playoff season home record.

Not surprisingly, and for the third consecutive season, the Beests, led by their Fantastic Four, distinguished themselves for most PVAC All-Star selections to conclude their fall championship and undefeated campaign (18-0-0). Led by senior Assistant Captain Chad Henry (37 Goals, 12 Assists) -- one of only two first round unanimous choices -- fellow seniors, Captain Steven Matthews (11 Goals, 17 Assists), Owen Haddow (5 Goals, 26 Assists) and Zack Zarker (PVAC Tournament MVP) all earned coveted First Team All-PVAC honors. In addition, junior midfielder Ethan Price-Chu (4 Goals, 15 Assists), a unanimous second round selection, is joined by junior striker Kyle Cassidy (33 Goals, 10 Assists) and freshman keeper Sam Schneider (0.29 GAA and only freshman all-star) on the Second Team All-PVAC. Sophomore holding midfielder Aaron Lewis received the designated honor of a Coach’s selection, bringing the total number of All-Star Beests to a program record eight. Coach Polón was once again bestowed the honor of serving as one of this year's All-Star coaches.

In conclusion, this season could not have been possible were it not for the support of our loyal and supportive fans!
