Matthijs:
“I am a driven and hard working asset to the team and I am always looking for ways to improve my game. My competitive mindset ensures that I never give up and that I always extract the maximum from myself. I am eager to learn, coachable, and I always want to give my all for my team.”
WIndmills:
“Matthijs is a force to be reckoned with on the attack. His composure, vision and ability to find a way to score goals is something that contributes to any soccer program in the country. Matthijs spent one year at the college level before, at William Penn University in Iowa. After a successful year which saw him and his team make it to the NAIA National Championship, he decided to go home to finish his Bachelor’s degree. Now, Matthijs is looking to get his master’s degree in the U.S. along with competing in college soccer again. When it comes to quality and experience, Matthijs will make a huge impact on college soccer in 2026.”
