Century Soccer is one of the region’s most popular clubs, and it continues to help churn out dozens of college recruits.

The club was headed toward a record-breaking year for next-level commitments before the coronavirus, but it likely will set a new mark as recruiting begins to return to normalcy and additional players make decisions.

To date, Century has 41 Division I commits — 21 boys and 20 girls. The record of 42 was set with last year’s class.

Over the last three years, the club has produced 117 collegiate players.
