Hall of Fame
Francisco Mosca was one of the most dynamic players ever to wear a McKendree soccer uniform. Throughout his four-year career, he was one of the most feared scoring threats both on a conference, regional and national level.
Playing as a forward for McKendree, Francisco led the men’s program in scoring in each of his four seasons. He burst onto the scene with 10 goals and 22 points as a freshman in 1999. Francisco then followed up with a 17-goal, 12-assist performance for 46 points while leading the Bearcats to 13 victories as a sophomore in 2000.
After posting 16 goals, 10 assists and 42 total points as a junior, Francisco saved his best for last. In his senior season of 2002, he registered career-high totals of 22 goals and 48 points. He led the American Midwest Conference (AMC) in scoring as a senior as well. The 22 goals scored by Francisco still stands as the third-highest total in a single season at McKendree.
Following the 2002 season, Francisco was named as the American Midwest Conference Player of the Year. He also earned honorable mention All-America honors from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). During his career, Francisco was a three-time All-Conference selection.
At the time of his induction, Francisco stands second on the Bearcats’ career charts for total points scored (158), goals (65), assists (28) and is third all-time in game-winning goals with eight. During his four-year career at McKendree, Francisco helped guide the Bearcats to 43 victories.
