As part of the #NJCAAForward initiative, Roadrunner Athletics is proud to highlight many of our top student athletes. In this post, we highlight the Center Back of the Men's Soccer team, Jake Fazi. In the 2019 season, Fazi made his strong defense presence known on the pitch this season. Not only was Fazi a nightmare for opposing offensive players, he contributed 4 goals, 3 assists and tallied 11 points offensively to help the team finish the season with a 12-5-3 record. In this post, Jake Fazi discusses the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic and how he is keeping up with his school work and what his plans are for the future!
