January 2004: Elizabeth Jobe of the G85 Red team was honored for her selection as an All American player for 2003 at the National Soccer Coaches of America convention held in North Carolina in January at the Charlotte convention center She was presented with a plaque for the United Soccer Club and an Adidas jacket. Over 1000 members were present to see the youth and college players receive their awards. At the end of January, she went to the national U19 camp and made the cut for the U19. EJ and the U-19 women will now head to Mexico Feb. 15-21 for two matches against the full Mexican Women's National Team. It will be the first two full international matches of 2004 for the U-19s, who are preparing for CONCACAF qualifying in May for the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship that will be held in November in Thailand.

Pictured at left is our Director of Coaching, Rocky Harmon, with two former Questies. The 'keeper is Berry College standout junior sensation Byron Schunaman, who won three state titles while playing for Harmon. The field player is Berry freshman Jason Tindall, who last played for Mark Rogers' 19 Reds. The shot was taken after Berry beat the current 18 Reds in a pre-season friendly.

December 5, 2003: The Berry College Vikings finished their season 22-2-1, ranked #2 NAIA, and tied for third in the National Tournament held near Kansas City. The Quest alumni all performed admirably. Byron Schueneman had a great season which included 8 shutouts. He was named to the all region team and may qualify for All-American. Jon Mastrangelo had an amazing season, including 15 goals and 13 assists. He was also named to the all region team. And finally, since Berry was so hobbled with injuries by the time the nationals came around, freshman Jason Tindal was promoted to starting mid-fielder.

November 12, 2003: Lipscomb University freshman forward Ben Page has been named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Soccer Team. Page, a forward from Woodstock, Ga., started 16 games this season. He led the team in shots with 33 and is tied for the lead in assists with three. He also had one goal. “He’s a very good attacker with good speed,” said Lipscomb men’s soccer coach Jon Goad. “Physically, he can match up with anyone on the field.”

Quest Alumnus

Georgia Southern’s Tyler Mullen has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Soccer Player of the Week for the week of October 27.

Mullen, a freshman from Roswell, GA, has been a steady striker for the Eagles all year. On Saturday, the midfielder tallied two goals and assisted on another in Georgia Southern’s 5-2 win over Wofford. His goal in the 22nd minute was the second of five consecutive goals for the Eagles. A starter in every game, Mullen is second on the team with 13 points. Georgia Southern is currently fifth in the Southern Conference standings with two more conference games to play.

Senior forward Devon Prescod is making the most of his final season with the Irish. After struggling through a series of leg injuries last season, Prescod is healthy and leading the Irish in scoring this season with five goals. His scores against #11 California,West Virginia and Georgetown proved to be the game winners, as well.

Prescod came into the 2003 season with 10 career goals after scoring six as a sophomore in 2001. His five goals this season already eclipses his three from a year ago. Named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 1, Prescod is first on the team in points with 10 and second in shots on goal with 11.

Sept. 1, 2003: Former United Quest player Devon Prescod earned the title of Big East Offensive Player Of The Week. The senior forward provided both goals in Notre Dame's victory over #11/17 California on Saturday evening. Prescod led the University of Notre Dame men's soccer team (1-0-1) to a come-from-behind victory over the Bears, scoring with nine minutes left in the contest to knot the game at 1-1. He then put in the game winner just over one minute into the second overtime.
Prescod was the most active offensive player for the Irish all weekend, getting off seven shots, including four shots on goal. The Notre Dame offense as a unit was aggressive all weekend, out-shooting their opponents 31-18, but managing just the two goals against California and a scoreless tie vs. #20 Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday.
The weekly award is the second of Prescod's career, as the Marietta, Ga., native earned offensive player of the week honors on Oct. 15, 2001.

Quest Night at Clemson

September 6, 2001 Historic Riggs Field on the campus of 6th ranked Clemson University served as the venue for the coming out party of Jon Scraggs and the rest of the Quest alumni who played last night for Georgia State University,as GSU shocked Clemson 2-1.

Twenty minutes into the first half, Scraggs got a hold of a loose ball on top of Clemson's penalty box, and his low drive was deflected by Clemson's keeper, but Georgia State's Brian Mitchell knocked in the rebound to stun the home crowd as GSU went up 1-0.

In the 30th minute, Arash Darakashan had a loose ball drop on his favorite left foot, and his 22 yard bomb found the back post, upper corner for a 2-0 GSU lead. Right after half-time, Clemson's Steve Rhyne eluded GSU's Jamie Hargather, and his shot was knocked down, but the GSU keeper was called for tripping as he chased down the loose ball, and Clemson scored the PK to make it 2-1. After a night of steady defending, GSU's Brendon Minors had to come off due to injury, and freshman Gregg Divito filled his role for the last twenty minutes. GSU's Matt Dominick and the rest of the GSU defense held on for the historic upset. All players mentioned (except Pope High School's Brian Mitchell) played their youth soccer at United.

In all, seven Quest players saw action. It seems that the Quest program is not only good enough to develop players good enough to play at Clemson (Rhyne), but also players good enough to beat Clemson. Congratulations to all of them.
