Steven McCarthy, a 2010 graduate and native of Dayton, Ohio, left his mark on the history of Capital Men's Soccer by putting together one of the most prolific four-year careers the program has ever seen from 2006 until 2009. McCarthy, a two-time All-American currently sits atop the record books in career points (156) and career goals (69). Each of his four seasons, Steven earned All-Region accolades from the United Soccer Coaches and National Soccer Coaches Association of America. In the state, McCarthy was a four-time All-Ohio recipient and was recognized by the Ohio Collegiate Soccer Association as the 2007 Division III Player of the Year.
