The Triton College men's soccer team are kings of the Region IV once again. The Trojans claimed their third consecutive Region IV Division III championship with a 4-1 triumph over Harper College Oct. 27 in Buffalo Grove.
Triton remains undefeated with a 14-0-1 record and will play Anoka-Ramsey Community College out of Coon Rapids, Minn., Saturday at noon, for the District C title and a bid to the NJCAA National Tournament in Herkimer, N.Y.
The game will be played at the Schwaben Athletic Club located in Buffalo Grove, on Weiland Road, just north of Lake Cook Road.
The contest is a rematch of last year's pre-district qualifier in which the Trojans earned a hard-fought 1-0 win. Anoka-Ramsey, the Region 13 champions are 10-3 and are 13th in the latest NJCAA Division III poll. However, Triton has now moved up to third in the poll, their highest ranking of the season.
"To win three Region IV titles in a row is a great accomplishment, but we still have some work to do to achieve our ultimate goal," said Trojan assistant coach Piotr Sliwa, who along with head coach Tom Cholewa accepted the Region IV Coach of the Year honors after the victory.
Triton fell behind 1-0 10 minutes into the match before scoring four unanswered goals. Javier Rebollar (Steinmetz) found Antonio Montesdeoca (Lane Tech) off a throw-in during the 25th minute to level the score.
Then the Trojans took the lead for good when Rafal Mosier (Prosser)scored from a corner kick in the 44th minute.
Leading scorer Chris Anderson (Schurz) picked up his 19th goal of the season in the 83rd minute to make it a 3-1 margin. Martin Garciduenas (Mather), the second leading scorer, tallied his 14th goal on a penalty kick with just under two minutes remaining to seal the championship.
Winning the region is not a big surprise for a Trojan squad who entered the season with high expectations, but being undefeated at this point of the season with just eight returners from last year's 17-3 team that reached the Elite Eight is.
"If you would have told me at the beginning of the season we would be undefeated after 15 games I would have not believed it," Sliwa said. "My hat's off to all the men in that locker room. Especially with all the new faces that had to fill the shoes of last year's team. It's a credit to them for getting this far and we're not done yet and know we have a tough game ahead with Anoka-Ramsey."

Triton College's Dean Martin Runs the Chicago Marathon for Students
Triton College thanks and congratulates Quincy Martin III, dean of Student Services, for his dedication in serving underprivileged students. Dean Martin raised funds for Training for Trojans, a charitable effort to raise scholarship dollars for Triton students, by running in the Chicago Marathon.
Training for Trojans raised $1300 to date, with more contributions anticipated in the near future. Donations will also come from the Chicago Marathon, as 40 volunteers provided support for Martin at the event. The phenomenal group of volunteers, led and organized by Vice President of Student Affairs Doug Olson, consisted of Triton students, alumni, faculty, staff and administration.
Martin, who has 10 years of experience running in marathons, said, "This was the most rewarding marathon I have experienced. This was especially meaningful for me because of the opportunity to run for a reason, and the purpose will directly benefit Triton students."
Martin trained for four months to prepare for the Chicago Marathon and finished in the middle of the more than 36,000 participants. He will continue his Training for Trojans effort with more creative ways of retaining funds, while keeping a health and wellness theme.

Gaze at the Sky and Travel the Cosmos at the Triton College Cernan Center's Monthly Skywatch - Nov. 13
The Cernan Earth and Space Center of Triton College next Monthly Skywatch will be conducted on Saturday evening, Nov. 13, 2010, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Monthly Skywatch consists of two parts - an indoor planetarium program and an outdoor telescope observing session. The telescope observing portion is only held if weather permits.
The indoor portion of the Monthly Skywatch, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Cernan Center's dome theater, introduces audiences to a wide range of Earth- and space-related subjects. These include a tour of the current nighttime sky, a presentation on the latest astronomical discoveries and highlights and plans for NASA space flights. Each month, the Cernan Center's Monthly Skywatch staff also presents a segment that features a timely subject or focuses on a particular celestial object that is well placed for viewing that month.
Weather permitting, the Monthly Skywatch will then re-convene on the lawn in front of the Cernan Center to observe the wonders of the sky through telescopes. Members of the Chicago Astronomical Society assist Cernan Center staff members in offering their telescopes and expertise to those in attendance. At the Nov. 13 Monthly Skywatch, these telescopes will be trained on the planet Jupiter, the first quarter moon, and perhaps an assortment of star clusters and double stars. There is no charge for the telescope observing that follows the Monthly Skywatch.
Monthly Skywatch programs are a full 60 minutes in length to allow this series to cover more subjects in greater depth than ever before. Admission to the indoor planetarium portion of the Monthly Skywatch is $8 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under or senior citizens 55 and over. Because the planetarium component of the Monthly Skywatch presents scientific information at a more advanced level than our regular shows, we recommend it primarily for persons 13 years and older.
For more information about the Monthly Skywatch series, call the Cernan Center at (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3372, or e-mail the Cernan Center at cernan@triton.edu. For information about other shows and ticket prices, please call the Cernan Center's Program Line at (708) 583-3100 or visit the Cernan Earth and Space Center Online at www.triton.edu/cernan for complete information about the Cernan Center, as well as a current sky map, moon and planet information, online shopping at the Cernan Center's Star Store and links to many other Earth- and space-related resources online.
