Men's soccer team hits road for games this weekend

The Eastern Florida State College men's soccer team will head to Texas to play a couple of games this weekend.

The No. 1 ranked Titans come into the weekend 4-0 on the season as they will play Cape Fear on Sunday afternoon and then USC Lancaster on Monday afternoon.

Sophomore Mukisa Emmanuel leads the nation with seven goals in four games and has scored at least one goal in each of the games this season. The seven goals already ties his goal total from his freshman season.

"What a player! He is finding some form, he has adjusted and feels at home in Melbourne. He is a force to be reckoned with," Eastern Florida State College men's soccer coach Adam Butler said.

The Mbale, Uganda native is also leading the nation in points with 17 points this season. He was the NJCAA Division I Player of the Week last week.

"I feel great, it has been a great start for us and we have been able to execute what coach wants and checked one of the season goals by being No. 1," Emmanuel said. "We just have to keep doing what we are doing and get a couple more wins this weekend."

The weekend will be the final two games before they begin play in the Region 8 Conference as the Titans will host No. 13 Daytona State College next Saturday evening at 7 p.m. at Orlando Health Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on WEFS-TV which is shown locally on channel 9 or 455 on Spectrum, 68 on DirecTV, 30 on Dish and 68 on AT&T Uverse. The game will also be shown live online at the EFSC Titans YouTube page.
