Meet Okan Golge!

Okan is a sophomore here at Morningside College. He is currently here on a soccer scholarship and plays the number 10 role in the team. Number 10 represents an attacking striker who is eager to get onto the ball and score goals for the team. Last year Okan was successfully able to score 8 goals for the Stangs and also completed 3 assists to round off a successful start to his Morningside College career. When discussing the future of the Morningside soccer team, Okan seems relatively confident that the team will be able to produce a great amount of success. In a scrimmage a week ago, Mornginsde was successfully able to defeat Bellvue, a team currently ranked 14th in the nation.

Okan says he enjoys the family atmosphere which is given off around campus. He enjoys the idea of being part of a large family and that’s precisely what Morningside can produce.

Okan comes from a relatively large town called Köln, Germany where he has 2 siblings back home (a younger brother and an older sister). Okan started playing soccer around the age of 5 years old and has been hooked ever since.
