Box Score

San Antonio - Four members of the Trinity Tigers men's soccer team have been named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-Scholar South Region Team.

Defender Ben Anderson, midfielder Darren McAfee, and defender Simon Uribe made the All-Scholar Region First Team, while defender Jeff Hayes was a Second Team honoree.

Last month, Anderson was elected to the Capital One Academic All-America Second Team. Anderson majors in political science and has a grade point average of 3.97. He played in 20 games this season, while starting in 11. Anderson was a key member of the tight Trinity defense which yielded only 10 goals, and recorded 17 shutouts. He also contributed one assist on the offensive side.

McAfee is an engineering science major with a 3.35 GPA. He posted five goals and two assists, and was named to the All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference First Team, as well as the NSCAA All-Region First Team. McAfee added a goal and assist during the Tigers NCAA postseason play.

Uribe is a double-major in economics and finance with a 3.93 GPA. He started 12 of 21 games this season, and chalked up five goals and one assist. Uribe scored the game-winning goal in the SCAC Championship game, as the Tigers beat Southwestern University to claim a 16th conference title.

Hayes majors in pre-medicine neuroscience, and carries a 3.36 GPA. He anchored a smothering defense which was ranked No. 1 in the nation in goals-against average (.39). Hayes started 13 of 19 games, and scored five goals, while dishing out six assists.

The Tigers (21-3-1), led by 23rd-year Head Coach Paul McGinlay, advanced to their 12th straight NCAA Division III Tournament (17th of the last 18) after capturing the conference title. Trinity advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the eighth time, and was ranked fourth by D3soccer.com, and sixth by the NSCAA.
