MEN’S SOCCER: Nine Peninsula Pirates sign to play at four-year schools

PORT ANGELES — Four Peninsula College men’s soccer players recently signed letters of intent to play at colleges and universities across the country.

The four signees brings the Peninsula men’s team’s total of players who have signed letters of intent to nine.

“I am really excited for our sophomores moving on to four-year institutions and programs,” Pirates head coach Cale Rodriguez said.

“It’s a testament to their hard work, dedication and what our programs can provide for those who commit themselves to the goals that we set.

“I think it is very evident, based off of this group of players, the opportunities that can result from being a part of the soccer programs here at Peninsula College.”

The Peninsula sophomores who recently signed NCAA letters of intent join five who signed in March.

Manny Medina will continue his collegiate soccer career at Cal State Los Angeles, a Division II program; Keo Ponce will see his next action at Division II Cal State San Bernardino; and Victor Sanchez will also go Division II, playing at Montana State Billings.

Vitor Maia signed to play at Central Methodist University, an NAIA university in Fayette, Missouri.

Signing in March were Eddie Benito (University of California Riverside, NCAA Division I); Nick Johnson (University of New Hampshire, NCAA Division I); Trevan Estrellado (Cal State San Bernardino, NCAA Division II); Micah Weller (Whitworth University, NCAA Division III); and Santiago Sierra (Central Methodist University, NAIA).
