Stephen Tupy is an industrious midfielder who will see time on the wings for the Monarchs.

Tupy joins Real Maryland from UMF Leiknir, a third division pro team in Iceland. In Tupy’s one season with the club, UMF Leiknir won the third division but lost in the promotion/relegation playoff with a spot in Iceland’s second division on the line.

Before playing in Iceland, Tupy finished a very successful college career with North Carolina Wesleyan College (NCWC). Tupy played all four years and was a USA South All-Conference selection in 2005 and 2006.

In 2006, Tupy started all 21 games for the Battling Bishops, tallying 1 goal and 1 assist and was named the team’s MVP. For his efforts in 2006, Tupy was also named to the D3kicks.com All Region Team and the NCCSIA All State Team.

During his time with NCWC, the team won two USA South Regular Season Conference Championships, one USA South Conference Tournament Championship, was invited to the NCAA Division III tournament twice, and made one NCAA Sweet 16 appearance.

Chantal moved to the area from Brazil in 2001, and played under current Monarchs coach Silvino Gonzalo with the Northern Virginia Royals in 2003. Before coming to Real Maryland, he was playing indoor soccer with the California Cougars.
