Reber, a midfielder from Hilton, New York, registered four goals and eight assists in 14 matches as a senior at Hilton High School. A team captain, Reber was named to the All-County First Team and the All-Greater Rochester Honorable Mention list as a senior.

"We have been in contact with Jake since last summer and I am pleased to have him commit to play with us,” said MVNU head coach Paul Furey. "He has fit in nicely with our players on his visits and has been well accepted. He is a good match for our school. He is a solid student, who wanted to attend a Christian school. We look forward to having Jake join us.”

"Jake is an intelligent player who sees the game well,” Furey added. "He is composed on the ball and can distribute as well as attack the goal. I can see Jake stepping in and helping us right away and eventually being an integral part of our midfield.”

In addition to playing soccer at Hilton High School, Reber is a member of National Honor Society. He will be playing with the Under-19 Charlotte Eagles/M.A.I. team on a Brazil tour during this coming summer.

"There are several reasons why I decided to attend MVNU,” said Reber of his college choice. "I really enjoyed my experience with the team and Coach Furey. As soon as I got to MVNU, I felt welcomed. I also like the Christian environment and look forward to coming to MVNU next fall.”

MVNU finished the 2006 season with a 7-10-1 overall record and a 4-4-0 mark in the highly competitive American Mideast Conference South Division.
