Team Chicago Academy-Palmeiras center back Juan Garcia has accepted a roster spot to continue his soccer career at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois. Juan, who played his prep soccer at East Aurora High School, will be part of Eagles Head Coach Rich Nassif’s 2013 recruiting class.

Staying close to home at Benedictine, Juan will be playing with the Eagles in the Northern Athletics Conference under second year coach Nassif as the program at Benedictine grows.
