FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University men's soccer right back
Mattia Marzetti (Jr., Rome, Italy) has been named to the 2014 All-Sunshine State Conference Tournament team.
Marzetti played 200 minutes in the SSC Tournament and helped lift the Sharks into the semifinals for the first time since 2009. Marzetti scored an equalizer on the road against the Rollins Tars in the 83rd minute on a penalty kick, the first goal of his career. He had previously played 3,542 minutes on the back line for NSU and was making his 40th start.
Marzetti later was part of five Sharks to score in the penalty kick round, which propelled the Sharks to the semifinals. Against No. 4 Lynn, Marzetti played the full allotment of minutes and kept the Sharks competitive against the host school and eventual tournament champion.
Marzetti is expected to return in 2015 for his senior campaign, alongside his two center backs. All three will be seniors next season.
