Wilmore, Ky. – Asbury University Men’s Soccer Coach Ben Andrews has announced the signing of Mark Fitch from Dewitt, Michigan.  Fitch is a defender from New Covenant Christian School who adds depth to a thin back line.

A five-year varsity member and a five-year team captain for the Warriors, Fitch was selected to the All-Conference and All-District teams all five years.  He also made the All-Region and All-State teams once.  Fitch was selected to the All-Tournament team in the Colombia Central Invitational.  His team won the Champions of Dansville Invitational.
