The ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Men’s Soccer team opened conference play against Coastal Bend College (Beeville, TX) on Saturday, September 3rd. The Eagles defeated the Cougars 2-1 to get Coach JD Perales his first win as Head Coach of the Eagles.
For coach Perales this was technically his first win as head coach, back in the Spring of 2021, he stepped up as coach of the men’s team when playoff schedules forced the Eagle men’s and women’s teams to play on the same date at different locations. As interim Head Coach he picked up a playoff victory then.
NTCC Athletics wants to welcome all back to the campus for the 2022-2023 year. For those who are new, or returning we wanted to introduce the coaching staff to you. Each week we will send out a bio on each of the coaching staff. This week we are highlighting Head Women’s Soccer/Assistant Men’s Soccer Coach Heather Brady.
We hope this semester has been off to a great start!
