[Mr.Right]

Here we go lets see who "shows" up today and who fades from our memory...

[letsGOswans!]

Is this a joke? 8 forwards? Lol that Nescac only has 3 players. Regardless of my bias, Devlin should be a first team all American. Hopefully other sites do a better job.

[NEsoccerfan]

Colorado College with 4 All Americans? Interesting.

[PaulNewman]

Colorado College with 4 All Americans? Interesting.

And Trinity also with 4.  Also interesting.  8 from those two in same conference.

They were able to get the SID's from their conference to vote apparently.
Some odd selections all over the board.

A question for the ages. If you have 4 all-americans and can't make the tourney, are they even all-americans.

Congrats to Chicago Sophmore forward Max Lopez, Sophmore midfielder Nicco Capotosto and Junior keeper Hill Bonin on their All-American recognition.

Falconer, Brandt tore a muscle in his groin and missed the majority of the season, only playing in 3 games. He took a medical redshirt and could come back for another fall if he wanted. However, with Brandt never getting to play for his dad, I wouldn't be surprised if he left after next fall to play for his dad with the Riverhounds. He has trained with multiple teams in the USL already and from what I know is very interested in playing professionally.

I know this is a rhetorical question, but I agree with the implication: sounds impossible.

Obviously they got too many but the other way of looking at it is that maybe they should have been in the tournament.  Only losses all year were to Trinity, who ends up season with highest win pct in the country.

[All NESCAC]
