“Michael, Kody, Ryan, and Cameron have left a legacy for the MCC men’s soccer program in the type of player and person the coaching staff wants in our soccer program,” said MCC coach Ben Ritsema.
“All 4 of them were willing to take a chance on playing on a brand new junior college varsity team out of high school and now they are fulfilling their dreams of playing at a 4 year institution.”
