Saint Leo University Athletics

The 2005 Saint Leo Men's Soccer Team led by head coach Joel Harrison became the first program in school history to capture a Sunshine State Conference Championship after an impressive 7-1 run in conference play and a 15-1 regular season mark. Unfortunately, due to Hurricane Wilma the team was unable to compete for an SSC Tournament Championship but earned the right to host the 2005 NCAA South Regional. Due to the hurricane, Saint Leo had a 14-day layoff before competing in the regional final against Lynn, falling 3-1. The team was led by All-American and Saint Leo Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2017 member Asmir Pervan along with four others who earned All-SSC honors including Brent Stanze, Matias Pereze, Saint Leo Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2018 member Eusebio Herrera-Montoya and Giancarlo Conte. Pervan was named SSC Player and Offensive Player of the Year while Montoya brought home Freshman of the Year honors. Harrison was named the SSC Coach of the Year for his efforts as well.
