2025 Season Recap

Last year, anyone who watched any Emmaus Men's Soccer games will tell you that they played far better than their record shows. Their offense may not have always been able to figure things out, but their midfield and defense were key contributors throughout the season. Their relentless effort was evident from the very first games of the season, where they won their first two games with a combined score of 11-1.

Here are some season highlights from the 2025-26 Men's Soccer season:

• Claudius Holzman was named the NCCAA Division II Men's Soccer Athlete of the Week after his first career game.
• Jake Matte was named the NCCAA Division II Men's Soccer Athlete of the Week after netting a hat trick against Barclay.
