PLATTEVILLE — The University of Wisconsin-Platteville men’s soccer team is unbeaten in its last 10 contests. Sophomore Jack Gentilli is playing a huge part in the Pioneers’ success in 2021. The Belleville native was named Wisconsin’s newcomer of the year in 2019 after a seven-goal, one-assist season and continues to improve his play.

Gentilli has scored twice the last two games and at least one goal in seven of the last 10. Gentilli got the Pioneers on the board on a highlight reel goal against Knox College on Oct. 6. He scored the Pioneers’ only two goals in a 2-0 shutout vs. Concordia Wisconsin on Oct. 10 and followed with two more goals at Coe College on Oct. 12.

“Jack is a very special player, he makes a lot happen out of nothing,” Director of Soccer Sam Koenig said. “He can score a goal off a play or just having the top play on his feet.”

For the season, Gentilli has nine goals and five assists. The Pioneers are currently 8-2-2.
