Essex Freshman Noel Dreist Named NJCAA Division II Player of the Week

Newark, NJ | Essex County College freshman Noel Dreist has been named the NJCAA Division II Men's Soccer Player of the Week, following a string of impressive performances that have vaulted him into the national spotlight.

Dreist, a dynamic midfielder, has played a pivotal role in Essex's early-season success—contributing on both ends of the field and consistently leading the team's attack. His national statistics back up the recognition:

  • 12th in goals – 8 total

  • 6th in assists – 7 total

  • 6th in total points – 23

  • 7th in shot percentage – 2.000

Dreist's composure, vision, and versatility have quickly made him one of the most exciting young players in NJCAA Division II soccer—and a key piece of Essex's drive for postseason success.

The Wolverines are currently 4-1 on the season. They'll look to continue their winning form in their next home match this Saturday, September 27 at 2:30 PM, when they host Region 19 opponent Lackawanna College.
