DALLAS – Seven NJCAA Division III National Soccer Championships.
That’s how many titles the Herkimer County Community College men’s soccer team now have after it shook off a slow start and received great play down the stretch from Joeski Williams and Corey Phillips to beat Triton College, 2-1, in Sunday’s 2008 NJCAA Division III National Soccer Championship finale at Richland College.
The win was the second of the tournament in which the Generals (20-3) had to fight off an early deficit.
“This is unbelievable. In both games, to come from behind, especially in this game, having scored two goals in 8 minutes … it just shows you their resiliency,” Herkimer CCC head coach Pepe Aragon said. “They refuse to lose and just never give up.”
