Rutgers-Camden Athletics

George Louis-Ferdinand turned in one of the great performances in NCAA Division III history during his second year with the Scarlet Raptors in 2021. In the team’s 7-0 win over Gwynedd Mercy University on Sept. 5, Louis-Ferdinand notched a hat trick in a span of 1:26 for the second-fastest three consecutive goals by one player in D3 men’s soccer history. They also were the third-fastest all-division consecutive goals by any NCAA player, including Divisions I, II and III.
 
Louis-Ferdinand’s first two goals, at 77:08 and 77:18, tied a Division III mark for consecutive goals by one player, a mark of 10 seconds he shares with two other players.
 
Louis-Ferdinand has appeared in 41 games over three seasons with the Scarlet Raptors, starting four games and collecting four goals (one a game winner) and one assist for nine points.
