The Titans Take on the Mustangs in a Top‑10 Showdown

What a kickoff! The Eastern Florida State College men’s soccer team hit the field at Orlando Health Stadium this past Thursday for a season opener that’s already raised the stakes.
With the Titans ranked third in the NJCAA Division I National Poll, they’re rolling into the year with a squad packed with last year’s 16‑win warriors who made the Final Four.

Stars in the Making

  • Joao Victor Loureiro – 7 goals last season, ready to bring the heat again.
  • Stephen Gilbert – also 7 goals, hoping for a repeat hat‑trick.
  • Liam Kuemmitz – the leader who’ll keep the team tight.
  • Louis Munn – seasoned combatant.
  • Ocira Lazarus – a tactical mind on the field.
The Mustangs’ Pitch

Facing them is a Monroe University squad that’s sitting at 10th in the preseason poll. The Mustangs pushed 7 wins last year and boast a strong coaching pedigree under Marcus DiBernardo, who’s already claimed three national titles – the first coming in 2019 when the Mustangs toppled the Titans 2‑1 in the final.

Back‑Bench Battle

  • Braxton Richards – 7 goals in 9 games last season, always a threat.
  • Jin Yamamoto – 5 goals and 4 assists, a player who almost always arrives on time.
  • Kelvin Yengbie – freshman star, back for another run.
  • Sebastian Sayers – a solid new addition.
  • Reno Ishida – fresh talent with a hunger for victory.
What to Expect

The first tackle will start at 1 p.m. at Orlando Health Stadium. Free admission means everyone can witness the drama unfold on the Melbourne campus. Plus, if you want to play catch with a screen, the EFSC Titans YouTube channel will stream the action live.
