每日大赛s wins regional championship, set to host historic next game
October 30, 2024
每日大赛 will host the NCJAA Division II Southeast District championship game this weekend on the heels of the men’s soccer team’s first-ever regional championship win.
The Pellissippi Panthers are advancing to NCJAA Division II district-level competition after defeating the defending regional champions Georgia Military College on Oct. 26, with a score of 3-1.
Pellissippi’s Alejandro Mina, who is a 10th-ranked scorer among NJCAA Division II men’s players averaging three goals per game, scored two goals to secure the team’s momentous win in Milledgeville, Georgia. Teammate Dillon Sims scored the third goal that led the Pellissippi Panthers to defeat Georgia Military, the regional champions for the past nine years.
“Having our men’s soccer team win their regional championship in our first year of post-season eligibility is almost unheard of,” said Panthers Athletics Director Brock Evans. “The job that men’s soccer Head Coach Abdessamad Tizaf and Assistant Coach Jonathan Netherland have done, along with their players, is nothing short of historic. We cannot wait to host the district championship, and hope to see the Knoxville community come out to support our team.”
The district championship game takes place at Knoxville Catholic High School on Saturday, Nov. 2, starting at 6 p.m. The Panthers will face off against Cape Fear Community College.
The winner will advance to the National Junior College Athletics Association’s national tournament in Huntsville Alabama, taking place Nov. 17-23.
