Six Tiger Men's Soccer Players Earn NSCAA All-Region Honors

Box Score

San Antonio – Trinity's men's soccer team had six players earn All-Region honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Four Tiger players earned First Team All-Region honors, with one Trinity player on both the Second and Third Teams.  Trinity won the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship and advanced to the NCAA Playoffs, but lost 2-1 to Montclair State in the NCAA Third Round.

Goalkeeper Matt Cardone and forward Yuri Ribeiro were both First Team All-Region selections, as well as earning NSCAA All-American honors.  Cardone was a Second Team All-SCAC selection, recording 69 saves and 11 shutouts to go with his 0.45 goals-against average.  Ribeiro earned First Team All-SCAC honors, and led Trinity with 14 goals, 11 assists, and 39 total points this season.  He also earned NSCAA All-American honors in 2010.

Joining the Tiger duo on the All-Region First Team were midfielder Darren McAfee and defender Denny Mask.  McAfee finished with three goals and six assists this season, while Mask anchored a Trinity defense that allowed just 14 goals in 24 games.   Mask was also an All-Region selection last year, and was a 2010 NSCAA All-American.

Defensive midfielders Michael Micheletti and Tom Carwile also earned All-Region honors.  Micheletti was the SCAC Tournament Defensive Most Valuable Player, earning Second Team All-Region honors.  Carwile, a first-year player for the Tigers, was named to the Third Team.

Head Coach Paul McGinlay led the Tiger men to their 11th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Playoffs, and the program's 15th SCAC Championship in his 22 seasons with the team.  Coach McGinlay is one of the most successful coaches in Division III history, earning 369 victories, and came into the 2012 season as the winningest active coach – in any NCAA division – with his .831 winning percentage.
