2024 In Review
For the second straight year, and the seventh time in program history, the Catholic men’s soccer team captured the Landmark Conference Championship.
Game Highlights
- Holden Woodings scored his 15th goal of the season, becoming just the fourth Cardinal in the Division III era to hit that mark.
- With just three minutes left, Corey Magro rose up for a dramatic header off a perfect cross from Liam Giblin, sealing a 2–1 victory over Juniata.
- Magro’s clutch finish earned him Landmark Tournament MVP honors.
The Cardinals Closed the Season With:
- Back-to-back Landmark titles (3 in the last 4 years)
- 7 total conference championships, the most in league history
- A second straight NCAA Tournament berth, the ninth in program history
The defending Landmark champions, Catholic University, opens the 2025 season as the favorite, earning nine first-place votes to sit atop the coaches’ poll.
Right behind the Cardinals is Scranton, who collected the other first-place vote, followed by the 2024 league runner-up Juniata, who rounds out the top three.
Moravian and Lycoming slot into the middle of the rankings, while Elizabethtown and Drew are just a few points behind, signaling a competitive chase for postseason spots.
Susquehanna, Goucher, and Wilkes round out the poll as they look to build momentum in 2025.
