San Antonio - Trinity men's soccer players Johnny Lawson and Tom Carwile head a group of five Tiger players selected for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference All-Tournament Team.

Lawson was named Offensive Most Valuable Player. He was also selected for the All-Tournament Team for the third straight time. Carwile, a junior defender, was elected Defensive MVP.

The second-ranked Tigers (21-1-0) won their third straight SCAC Championship with a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Colorado College last Sunday at Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, Texas. Trinity shut out host Texas Lutheran 3-0 in the semifinals.

Lawson powered in a critical penalty kick in the 83rd minute against Colorado College, which evened up the championship matchup. It marked the 17th goal of the season for Lawson, which leads all SCAC players, and kept Trinity in contention during the title match. Lawson was also Offensive MVP at the 2012 tournament, and finished this year's event with a goal in each of Trinity's two wins.

Carwile revved up the Tiger defense which permitted only one goal on 21 shot attempts in the two games.

Derrick Horvath, Matt Cardone, and Simon Uribe were also All-Tournament honorees.  It was the first selection for all three Tigers.

Head Coach Paul McGinlay guided the Tigers to a 17th overall SCAC title, and the automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Playoffs. Trinity opens the NCAA tournament Saturday in Richardson, Texas, with the University of Texas-Dallas serving as the host institution. The Tigers meet Hardin-Simmons University at 7:30 p.m., with the winner advancing to Sunday's second round at 5:00 p.m. against the winner of UT-Dallas and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges.
