Terence O'Connell, Bates College, NSCAA All New England, Greenwich Cardinals Varsity Soccer Team
 
Terence O'Connell attended Greenwich High School where he was a four year varsity player and earned first-team All-FCIAC conference honors his senior year.  He continued his academics and athletics at Bates College in Maine, a member of the highly competitive NESCAC Conference.  Although he was a four year varsity player, Terence took the 2003 season off due to injury during which he coached the JV boys soccer team at Central Middle School in Greenwich.  He finished up his final two seasons at Bates by leading the league in scoring and total points his junior year, and finishing second in those two categories his senior year.  This earned him back-to-back ALL-NESCAC first team honors, as well as NSCAA ALL-New England honors for both the '04 and '05 seasons.  Finally, Terence was selected to the 2006 ISL All-DIVISION New England Senior Bowl All-Star team. He has passion for all sports but soccer will always be his true passion.  The oldest of five, and having worked at camps as a teenager, he is always looking to pass along his skills of the game, teach fundamentals at all levels, and have fun!
