Huntington University Men’s Soccer Coach
Russ Lawson has announced that Zeeland East High School standout
Nick Harmsen has chosen to continue his soccer career at HU.
Not only has Harmsen anchored his team’s defense the past two
seasons, he also has played a vital role in guiding his teammates as
captain his senior year. This past fall Harmsen was recognized for
his work on the field as a Michigan High School First Team
All-District Division II player.
“We are very excited that Nick will continue his career at
Huntington,” says Lawson. “He is a hard-nosed center back who reads
the game well and has the ability to distribute and generate
offense.”
Off the field Harmsen has made a tremendous impact in the classroom
and will enter Huntington University as an honor student. Zeeland
East Soccer Coach Todd Kamstra said Harmsen “set the standard” of
commitment for his teammates throughout the season. Kamstra
predicted the defender center back “will do exceptionally well at
the collegiate level.”
Huntington University is a Christian liberal arts college located in
Huntington, IN, with an enrollment of approximately 1000 students.
Athletically, HU competes in fourteen NAIA intercollegiate sports
for both men and women and is a member of the MCC (Mid Central
