Bio

Percy Moore’s name was associated with virtually every one of the Goucher College men’s soccer program’s scoring records when his playing career came to its conclusion in 1995. And 20 years later as he becomes the sport’s first inductee into the institution’s Athletics Hall of Fame, it still is.

Moore demonstrated right from the start what an offensive force he was going to be by scoring at least one time in 10 of the 17 games the Gophers played in 1991, his freshman season. That included a four-goal performance against Arcadia, something which previously had never been accomplished in the program’s short history. However, teammate Dan Jarrett also accounted for four of the goals in the 16-0 victory that day, so the two of them are credited with establishing the single-game record on October 26, 1991 that has been matched two more times, most recently in 2007.

Moore finished with a team-high total of 16 goals in 1991, and that, too, remains a school record that Moore himself equaled the following year, when he again spread the 16 goals he scored over 10 games. Radcliffe Roye is the only other male soccer player from Goucher with a 16-goal season, a feat he performed in 1995.

As a junior forward in 1993, Moore supplied the Gophers with 12 goals, including the two they needed to earn a 2-1 victory over Catholic in the quarterfinals of the Capital Athletic Conference postseason tournament.

Moore’s senior year at Goucher began with him contributing three goals to a 5-3 victory over Frostburg State. He went on to score seven more times during the 1994 season, raising his career total to 54 goals.

Just as he was when he graduated, Moore is the program’s all-time leader in goals and points (133) and runner-up in assists (25).

Moore’s 54 career goals remained a record for the Capital Athletic Conference into the 21st century before it was bettered by Ryan Olsen from St. Mary’s (Md.). He was also the first and so far the only male soccer player from Goucher to earn first-team All-CAC honors in each of his four years of eligibility and was the school’s only representative on the CAC’s Silver Anniversary Team, which came out in 2014-15 and was essentially a compilation of the conference’s top players during its first 25 years of intercollegiate competition.

Moore is a past chair of the Goucher Board of Trustees and was also a member of the school’s first men’s lacrosse team.
