The ACS Varsity Soccer Teams competed in the Tri-State Christian Athletic Conference (TSCAC) Championships on Saturday, November 4 hosted by Cairn University in Langhorne, PA. Both teams played their best and gave it all out on the field. We are proud of both teams. The presence of our supportive family and fans cheering on our Cougars was very encouraging and appreciated. The Boys’ team came into the playoffs with an undefeated record in conference play. This is the third year in a row that the Boys’ team advanced to the Championship Game. ACS played hard and led 2-1 deep in the second half with goals from Malachi Vasquez and Adam Schlundt. However, Pilgrim Academy scored in the last three minutes to tie the game 2-2 and send it into overtime. Pilgrim then scored in the last 47 seconds of OT to win this game 3-2.

Our Varsity Girls upset Calvary Academy 2-0 in the quarterfinals and then lost in the semifinals to Kings Christian 2-0. ACS competed in a challenging Consolation Game against Gloucester County Christian School and lost 3-0 to finish in 4th place.

Our TSCAC league also honored the following ACS players at the end of the Championships. ACS Senior Manny Johnson was named TSCAC Most Valuable Player (MVP) for this season. Eight of our players were named to the All-Star teams. For the Boys’ team Manny Johnson, Noah Gibbs, Malachi Vasquez and James Papanikolau were named to the 1st team and Chase Leach was named to the 2nd team. For our Girls’ team Rebecca Kelley and Sophia Johnson were named 1st team All-Stars and Kaia Barbour was named to 2nd team All-Stars.

We want to give special thanks to our Coaches Daniel Vasquez and Dakota Keller for their dedication in training our athletics to work hard, perform well and honor God both on and off the field.
