Men's Soccer Trio Finds Four-Year Programs

Three members of the Men's Soccer program are on the move after wrapping up their playing careers at SPSCC. Yuta Shimazu and Joshua Cotezee are staying with local programs in the Pacific Northwest after committing to Pacific Lutheran University and The Evergreen State College, respectively.

Sophomore goalkeeper Christian Morell has signed with Upper Iowa Univesity (NCAA DII) in Fayette, Indiana. Christian started 30 of the 32 games he appeared in during his career at SPSCC. Morell's play during the 2023 season earned him a spot on the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) West Region All-Star Soccer Team.

Like Morell, Yuta Shimazu earned Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) West Region All-Star Soccer Team recognition in 2023 and 2022. Yuta scored eight goals during his two seasons as a Clipper, including many dazzling showcases of his dribbling ability in the midfield.

Joshua Coetzee made his presence known inside the box during his time as Clipper. The physical defender also displayed some scoring prowess as a sophomore, scoring two goals.
