SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Following a stellar freshman campaign, Syracuse University men's soccer forward Emil Ekblom has been named to the 2013 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men's All-Northeast Region Third Team, announced on Monday, Dec. 9.
Â
Ekblom led the squad and finished in third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in points (23) and goals (10). Ekblom posted SU's first hat trick since 2008 and set an SU Soccer Stadium record with seven points (three goals, one assist) against NC State on Oct. 4. Following his performance against the Wolfpack, he was named the Disney Soccer/NSCAA Division I Men's Player of the Week and the ECAC co-Offensive Player of the Week. He also earned spots on the TopDrawerSoccer.com and College Soccer News National Teams of the Week.
Â
Ekblom's 10 goals were the third-most by an SU freshman in program history and he was the first double-digit Orange goal-scorer since Hansen Woodruff (10 goals) in 2007.
Â
The distinction marks the second consecutive season that members of the Orange have been named to the all-region squads. Jordan Vale and Louis Clark were named to the 2012 NSCAA All-Region Second and Third Teams, respectively.Â
