Three Scot Soccer Players Picked All-Region
The National Soccer Coaches Assoc. of America recently announced its all-region and All-America Teams, and The College of Wooster had three All-Great Lakes selections — Adam Milligan (Orrville, Ohio / Orrville) on the first team and second-teamers Brian Conaway (Twinsburg, Ohio / Twinsburg) and Andrew DeBord (Cincinnati, Ohio / Indian Hill). It marked the first such honor of Milligan’s career, while Conaway and DeBord both received first-team all-region recognition for their efforts last season. Milligan was the Co-Offensive Player of the Year in the North Coast Athletic Conference as a junior after averaging a league-high 1.72 points per match. The 6-2, 185-pound forward’s 14 total goals were the most by a Wooster player since 1992, and his three assists gave him 31 points. Milligan, a two-time All-NCAC player, has tallied 69 career points — tied for sixth-most in school history — including 30 goals in 43 games. Conaway, just a sophomore, makes his second all-region squad following a nine-goal, three-assist season. The 5-10, 160-pound speedy forward scored five of his goals over the final five matches, and his average of 1.16 points was sixth-best in the conference. Conaway’s first two campaigns have resulted in 19 goals and six assists for 44 points, which puts him on pace to finish among the Scots’ top-five all-time scorers.
DeBord was once again the anchor of a Scot defense, which held opponents to averages of 0.72 goals and 7.61 shots per match. The 6-0, 170-pound junior started all 17 matches he played in and took five shots, while helping Wooster shutout nine of its 18 opponents, including a stretch of seven of eight late in 2003. The Scot men’s soccer team went 12-3-3 overall this fall and shared the NCAC championship (8-1-0) with Denison University (8-1-0). Wooster was the No. 1 seed and host of the NCAC Tournament for the second-straight time, but succumbed to third-seeded Ohio Wesleyan University 2-1 in the finals. |
