According to the organization’s mission, they work every day to inspire coaches and ignite their passion for the game, so they pass it on to players and others in the soccer community.

This past season, the tri-captain guided Purchase to the postseason in his final campaign in Orange and Blue. The “iron man” defender logged every minute of every conference game on the season—one where the defense anchored the playoff-bound Panthers. Purchase recorded seven overtime games, including a first-round playoff matchup with CMSV that was decided in penalty kicks. Iurillo, a member of the 2014 championship team, was also named to the All-Skyline team as a freshman and senior.
