Elite Eight

Men’s soccer registered the first unbeaten regular season in program history

After completing the 2023 regular season with 10 wins, five draws and not a single loss—registering the first unbeaten season in program history—the Men’s Soccer team made an impressive NCAA tournament run before falling to Washington College 1-0 in the Elite Eight round. 

The Camels, who won the 2021 NCAA Championship by defeating Amherst on penalty kicks, again leaned on penalty prowess to advance in both the second round and the Sweet 16 during their most recent campaign. The team went seven rounds with Franklin and Marshall before forward Jake Creus ’24 found the back of the net to give Conn the 7-6 penalty win in the second round. After playing Montclair State to a 2-2 tie in the Sweet 16, midfielder Jack Marvel ’24 converted in the fifth round of PKs, while goalie Peter Silvester ’25 made two saves to secure the win for the Camels.

Four members of the team earned All-NESCAC honors. Leading scorer Matt Scoffone ’24 was named to the All-NESCAC First Team, while defenseman Marco Cerezo ’24, Creus and Silvester landed Second Team accolades. Scoffone was also named to the United Soccer Coaches All-America Third Team and the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-American Second Team.
