Former Ocean City Nor'easter To Lead CCC Men's Soccer Team

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Former Ocean City Nor'easters men's soccer club associate coach and general manger Kevin Nuss has been named the new head coach of the Camden County College men's soccer team, the college announced on Tuesday. At the same time, the school announced that Solomon Jacobs is taking over as the head coach for the women’s program.

"We are confident that Coach Nuss and Coach Solomon will continue the history of success for these programs with an emphasis on academic success, development, retention, degree completion and moving our student-athletes onto four year institutions," Camden County College Athletic Director William Banks said.

Nuss played for the Cougars in 2003 and was an all-region and all-conference goalkeeper. He was also named an Adidas/NSCAA First Team All-American. He went on to play two seasons at William Paterson University before transferring to Rowan University to finish out his collegiate playing career.

He was an assistant coach at Camden County College for one year before heading to Rutgers University-Camden to be an assistant coach from 2008-2011. He then served as assistant coach at St. Joseph's University from 2011 to 2012 and at Brown University from 2013-2014.

Nuss most recently spent time as an Associate Head Coach and General Manager of the Ocean City Nor'easters and Cedar Stars Academy.

"I am extremely excited about returning to Camden County College. I am appreciative of my experience here as a student-athlete and assistant coach,” Nuss said. “I look forward to building on the storied legacy of the men's soccer program and helping the current student-athletes fulfill their academic and professional goals, just as I did in my time at CCC."

"Congrats to Ocean City Nor'easters alum Kevin Nuss on the new job as the head coach of the men's soccer program at Camden County College," the Nor'easters said in a Facebook post.

Jacobs was an assistant coach with the Lady Cougars last season. He played semi-pro soccer for 12 years and has over 10 years of coaching and training experience at a variety of different levels.

"As head coach, I am introducing ‘attractive’ and fundamental soccer playing styles, which will continue to develop the style of the game of future players,” Jacobs said. “We will lead and encourage each player to reach their full potential, teach them the value of respect, care, responsibility, honesty and ability to uphold the tradition of winning both in the classroom and on the field of play."

Jacobs holds a Bachelor of Science in information technology and a master’s in business administration. He is both a full-time student in a doctoral program and an adjunct professor at Camden County College, teaching computer information systems.

Both teams open the season on Aug. 28 against NJCAA DII CCBC-Catonsville.
