Victor Hernandez,
a sophomore on the men's soccer team at Mercer County Community
College, has been named an All-American by the National Soccer Coaches
Association of America. A native of Port Chester, New York, Hernandez
has played two seasons with the °®½´ÊÓƵ Vikings, which advanced to
the national tournament both years. As part of last year's team
(which lost in overtime in the national final), Hernandez was a
left fullback; this year, he played as a defensive center midfielder
and served as team captain. The Vikings finished their 2007 season
with a 14-7-1 record.

Said
°®½´ÊÓƵ Head Coach Charlie Inverso, "Vic is as good a leader as we have
had here at Mercer. He is a tough-nosed midfielder and, as the season
progressed, his toughness started wearing off on the freshmen. His parents
taught him a great work ethic."
Hernandez will remain at Mercer to complete his associate degree.
