Men’s Soccer Team Picks Up First Conference Victory

September 9, 2002 - CCBC Dundalk’s Men’s Soccer team split a pair of games this past weekend, defeating CCBC Catonsville 2-0 on Thursday and losing to Essex County College (New Jersey) 2-1 Sunday. The Lions record is 1-2 overall, 1-0 in the Maryland JUCO conference.

Head Coach, Ben Bays, said the team intentionally plays a tough non-conference schedule to help prepare for the difficult games ahead. The team opened the season by playing the eighth ranked Union County College (New Jersey) on August 30 and then played Essex a week later. Dundalk lost to both Essex and Union by 2-1 scores. Coach Bays knows that his team will benefit from these tough games as the season progresses.

Also last week, forty-five student athletes participated in CCBC Dundalk’s first annual Student Athlete Orientation. The students representing all of Dundalk’s teams spent Tuesday, September 3 learning strategies for success in the classroom and in life. In addition to CCBC Dundalk president, Dr. Eugenia Proulx, and Dean of Learning and Student Development, Dr. Barney Wilson, addressing the student athletes, former University of Maryland basketball star, Ernie Graham, also spoke to them. Graham illustrated how the poor choices that he made negatively and tragically impacted his awesome potential. The students enjoyed both breakfast and lunch as part of the daylong event.

The Lions have only one event on the schedule this week, a home men’s soccer game vs. Allegany College on Friday, September 13 at 6:00 PM played at CCBC Dundalk’s Stadium.
