The St. Thomas Aquinas boys’ soccer team, Edison, has clinched the Greater Middlesex Conference (GMC) division title with an outstanding undefeated season under first-year head coach Jason Chung. The Trojans, currently 8-0 in the GMC at the midpoint of the season, have dominated their competition, outscoring opponents 64-2 and recording seven shutouts in the process.
St. Thomas Aquinas has showcased exceptional skill on both sides of the ball. The defense has been nearly impenetrable, allowing only two goals across eight matches, while the offense has consistently applied relentless pressure. “I am incredibly proud of the boys and the success they’ve achieved thus far,” said Coach Chung. “We look forward to the challenges ahead as we move into the tougher part of our schedule.”
The team’s offensive power has been led by senior Nelson Fuentes, who has contributed 15 goals and 21 assists. Freshmen Elias Araujo (eight goals, three assists) and Luca Malovini (12 goals, two assists), along with junior Snyder Reyes (seven goals, five assists), sophomore Ian Asinger (10 assists), and junior Jeremy Ramirez (seven goals, six assists), have all made significant contributions. Defensively, sophomore goalie Domenic Grande has been crucial to the team’s success, registering 40 saves to date.
The Trojans’ impressive form is a testament to the hard work and determination of the athletes, who have steadily developed their skills under the guidance of dedicated coaches and staff. Their focus on teamwork, sportsmanship, and academic excellence has laid the foundation for a truly exceptional season.
With their division title secured, St. Thomas Aquinas is poised for further success and is a team to watch as they enter the final stretch of the season under Coach Chung’s leadership.
