Men’s Soccer First Scrimmage Premieres New Pitch

Pedricktown, NJ. - The Salem Community College men's soccer team opened up play at their new home pitch when the Mighty Oaks took on the Knights of Neumann University in a friendly scrimmage Tuesday August 23, 2022. Through a partnership with Oldmans Township School, the soccer program at Salem Community College has a new venue for their home games.

On the field, the scrimmage consisted of three thirty minute periods that provided both coaches the opportunity to evaluate their teams in preparation for the 2022 fall season. Both teams jumped out early, each scoring one goal at the twenty-minute mark of the first period of play. Shortly after, the Knights took a lead that they did not give up for the rest of the day. At the end of three periods of play, Neumann topped the Mighty Oaks 5-3.

Salem will continue their pre-season when the Mighty Oaks travel to Eastern University for another scrimmage Tuesday August 30 with a kick off time of 2:00PM. The scrimmage with the Eagles will be Salem's final tune up before the start of Region 19 play.
