The St. Charles Community College Men’s and Women’s Soccer teams wrapped up the season in tournament play this November. 

The women’s program closed out their season at the District D Championship game after taking home its third straight Region XVI championship. The Lady Cougars ended the season with a record of 10-5-3.

The women’s team narrowly missed advancing to the NJCAA D1 National Tournament after falling to Parkland College in the district championship game 2-1 during overtime. 

Four SCC women’s players grabbed All-Region honors for the season. Sydney Gentry, Miranda Clamors and Shannon Rettig were named first-team, and Breanna Colombo was named second-team. 

“This year, we had a really good group of players on the women’s team,” said Chris Gober, SCC athletic director. “We are proud to have such a dominate program developing here at SCC.”

The men’s team ended the season with a record of 10-8-1, closing out their season with a 2-1 loss in the Region XVI quarterfinals against East Central College.

“It is nice to see the men’s team is going in the right direction,” said Gober. “It’s always positive to see a little bit of an improvement in the team’s record from previous seasons.”
