Sunnyside State Champion Quiroz joins Aztecs men's soccer

The Pima Community College men's soccer program made a huge splash as it received a commitment from a former Southern Arizona state champion.

• The Aztecs added Manuel Quiroz, a midfielder/forward who transferred from Yavapai College and was a 5A State Champion with Sunnyside High School in 2018.
• Quiroz was a captain for the Blue Devils during their championship run. He was named State Player of the Year after he helped Sunnyside complete an undefeated season at 24-0-2. He scored 39 goals and had 21 assists on the year.
• "Sunnyside just won everything that year. The kid (Quiroz) played at a very high and technical level," Pima men's soccer coach David Cosgrove said.
• Quiroz played his freshman season of collegiate soccer at Yavapai College where he played in all 19 games making 17 starts. He scored seven goals and had eight assists.
• "We wanted Manny and we're very excited to have him," Cosgrove said. "He's very talented and we'll have him in a couple of different roles. He's very intelligent and will have an immediate impact. He adds quality in a lot of different positions."
