After securing their first CCAA championship in SSU school history and winning 9 of their last 12 games, three members of the men's soccer team were recently named to the All-Far West Region team.

Junior defender Brett Cook, who was also named to the All-CCAA first team, received the first-team distinction along with freshman forward and fellow All-CCAA first-team member Nathan Medina while senior defender Travis Ryan received second-team honors.

Cook anchored the Seawolf defense, one of the main strengths of the team, which allowed only a minuscule 1.02 goals per game.

Medina, though only a freshman, turned in one of the best seasons to date for a SSU player. He led the team in scoring with 14 goals, one more than the freshman record set by Andrew Bailey just last year.

As a defender, Ryan was able to knock in four goals in only 19 shot attempts - by far the best shot percentage of anybody on the team who took more than five shots over the course of the season.

All-CCAA Honorable Mention distinctions went to senior Mike Kelley, junior Cody Ericson, and junior Tim Maycock.
