  Men's Soccer Concludes 2005 with Outstanding Team Performance
and Top Individual Awards

Mens Soccer Team     The 2005 Greenville College men’s soccer team wrapped up an exceptional season in November with a second place finish in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) tournament and an appearance in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) North Central Regional. The Panthers dropped the SLIAC championship to Webster University by a 1-0 score in overtime, before succumbing 2-1 in double overtime to Trinity Christian in the NCCAA regional semifinal. The Panthers’ final record of 14-5-4 marked its best winning percentage since 1998 and fifth best winning percentage in its 46-year history.

    After the season, several Panthers received recognitions for their top contributions. The SLIAC named nine Greenville men’s soccer players to their all-conference team, and four players earned NCCAA all-region honors. The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) chose junior midfielder Jeremiah Essmyer of O’Fallon, Mo., and junior defender Jon Fields of Marion, Ind., as NCCAA honorable mention All-Americans. The NSCAA/Adidas NCAA Division III All-South Central Region tabbed senior Greg Muehlfeld of Belleville, Ill., to its first team as a defender and Essmyer to its second team as a midfielder. Senior defender Brett Malone of McPherson, Kan., was honored by the ESPN The Magazine CoSIDA Academic All-America program as a College Division District V first team selection and College Division national third team honoree.
