    NEW YORK – With the 2015 collegiate men’s soccer season coming to an end, three Columbia seniors that are close to graduation are focused on continuing their careers on the pitch. Kyle Jackson, Antonio Matarazzo and Bryce Terrill all aspire to play at the next level, and have earned some looks along the way.

    ...

    “All three guys have attracted the interest of domestic and international clubs over the last few months and years,” said [CU coach and former MLS player Kevin] Anderson. “Many players within our team hold both American and European citizenship, which we know is advantageous to more possibilities. I believe that the environment and culture that has been created here at Columbia will remain fruitful for scouts to find the solutions to their specific teams.”

    Not the first time this connection slipped my mind.

    Here's an old thread on "Pell" Matarazzo:

    Antonio, once of the FCN academy, also had a thread:

    Pell is actually Antonio's brother.
