West Windsor, N.J. -- Patrick Snyder, the head coach for men's soccer at Mercer County Community College, has resigned, according to MCCC Athletics Director John Simone. Snyder, who just completed his first season with the Vikings, has accepted a position to coach at New Jersey City University.

Snyder, a former assistant coach and player at Mercer, compiled an 11-7-1 record during the fall season. He led the Vikings to the Region 19 championship game, where they lost in a close contest with Burlington County College. Three of Snyder's players were named to the Region 19 top five list, including no. 1 Jonni Ventura, no. 3 Sascha Haecker and no. 5 Sheldon Parkinson.

Simone has announced that Widmarc Dalce, an assistant coach for the past two years, will serve as interim head coach. Dalce is an alumnus of the Vikings' 1996 national championship team. He has served as an assistant coach for women's soccer at Princeton University and is the former head coach for boys soccer at Allentown High School.

Said Simone, "We wish Pat well and look forward to Widmarc serving as interim coach during the off-season. He is highly skilled athlete with a strong coaching background."
