MISENHEIMER — As one of three goalkeepers on the current roster for Pfeiffer University’s men’s soccer team, Seth Limbert is preparing for the Falcons’ 2025 campaign that is set to begin in a little over a month.

The sophomore from Mooresville and Lake Norman High School has played club soccer for Charlotte Independence, but now he is hoping to get more involved with the Falcons after a freshman season where he was sidelined due to his depth chart placement.

Last season, Limbert was joined by junior Tommaso Cantini and senior Ali Jaafar as one of three goalkeepers on the roster; the rising sophomore is now joined by Cantini and freshman Isaac Barefoot on the 2025 roster.

Limbert recently reflected on his introduction to the university and how his experience has been so far.

“I chose Pfeiffer for many different reasons,” Limbert said in a video profile from the Falcon soccer program. “The first was the coaching staff. Coach Tony (Faticoni) was super helpful during my recruiting process. He made everything easy, quick and clear. If I had any questions, I was able to text or call him, and all that was great. He made it super easy for me.”

He mentioned that another factor in choosing Pfeiffer’s soccer team was because he “loved the environment” that the team brought to the locker room.

“All the guys are super close,” Limbert said, “It honestly feels like you’re part of a second family being on Pfeiffer soccer. Yeah. My roommate turned into my best friend the whole year. I really found a good group and it feels good.”

Limbert explained that he didn’t know that he wanted to play college soccer until his junior year of high school, when he got in touch with Faticoni and soon found himself on a path to a roster following a showcase at Pfeiffer.

“My journey to college soccer was a little up and down. Obviously, it started when I was really young, four or five, and then I played all throughout middle school. I played club soccer my whole life.”

Pfeiffer’s first scrimmage of 2025 is set for Aug. 20 at Misenheimer’s Lefko-Mills Field against Montreat.

The Falcons, who had a 4-8-3 record last year, will look to get their first regular-season win of the season on Aug. 29 against Guilford in Greensboro.
