2012 NSCAA All-Northeast Region Teams
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Freshman midfielder Jordan Vale and senior forward Louis Clark were named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Northeast Region Team Sunday, Dec. 9. Vale was picked to the second team, while Clark earned third-team honors.
Â
Vale and Clark are the program's first all-region selections since Hansen Woodruff (second team) in 2008. It marks the first time Syracuse has had multiple all-region honorees in the same season since 2002.
Â
The pair helped lead an Orange offense that posted 39 goals in 2012, tied for the seventh-highest total in team history, and almost twice as many as it scored last year.
Â
Vale started every match for the Orange and finished the campaign as the squad's leading scorer. His nine goals were the most for an SU freshman since Kirk Johnson netted nine in 2000, and Vale's 21 points were the most for a first-year Orange player since 2001 (Jarett Park, 24).
Â
Clark contributed 12 points on four goals and four assists. He also started every game and tied his career high with two goals, including the game-winner, to lead Syracuse to a come-from-behind victory against VCU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Â
The honors are latest in a slew of awards for the Orange following its most successful season to date. Syracuse posted a 14-6-1 overall record and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament where it was eliminated on penalty kicks by national runner-up Georgetown.
