Philippe Celestin (#9) leads the celebration after the mens soccer team advanced to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.

Swarthmore College junior Philippe Celestin's contributions to the men's soccer team and to the Rhythm N Motion dance troupe are celebrated in an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer. The article was written by Sam Lacy '11.

Last Saturday, Celestin played in the first half of the men's soccer win against the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and then went on to perform a percussive stomp piece that he had choreographed in Rhythm N Motion's fall concert.

The men's soccer team will next play Transylvania on Friday, November 20th at 5:00 p.m. The game, which is the third round of the NCAA Division III Tournament, will be played at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Fans will be able to follow the game via live stats and live video from Carnegie Mellon. For more information about the tournament, check out the Swarthmore's Playoff Central.
