Special to The Owl
More than sixty PGCC students, alumni and friends donned their socks, shin guards and indoor shoes for a fun end to the soccer season on November 21st. Eight teams played one another in 15-minute games, followed by 20-minute semifinal and final rounds of competition. The tournament was sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Performance and the International Education Center, as part of International Education Week. The tournament director was PGCC men’s soccer coach Richard Todaro.
The teams were n
amed by their captains’ first names: Team 1, Everson; Team 2, Oji; Team 3, Mike; Team 4, Stephen; Team 5, Nana; Team 6, Armand; Team 7, Israel; and Team 8, Pascal. Many countries and the US were well represented by some fancy footwork, fast action and terrific saves.
Teams Stephen, Armand, Israel and Mike made the semifinals. The final round was between Team Stephen and Team Israel. Team Israel won 5-2. The semifinal winners took home soccer mini-balls and the winners took home Adidas soccer balls. Former PGCC and American University soccer All-American Hector Vargas served as referee.
Team Stephen was made up of famous PGCC alumnus Stephen deRoux, Adrian Clarke, Daydrian Givans, Kenroy Campbell, Ricardo Jarrett, Rondine Crawford, and Tiaye Akinmboni.
Winning Team Israel was made up of Israel Akanbi, Kunle Akinfeleye, Isiaka Kamara, Andy Ojinmaka, Tunde Banjo, Leroy Oligie, Kunle Banjo, and Sam Taylor.
MVP awards were given to Ricardo Jarrett and Kunle Banjo.
