NEW YORK, N.Y. – After leading the Orange with 23 points and 10 goals during the 2013 season, Syracuse University men's soccer forward Emil Ekblom has been named to the Soccer America All-Freshman Second Team, announced on Wednesday.

The freshman phenom was also named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Freshman Best XI and the College Soccer News All-Freshman Second Teams, as well as the 2013 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Men's All-Northeast Region Third Team. In addition, Ekblom earned spots on the All-ACC Second Team and All-ACC Freshman Team after his stellar inaugural campaign with the Orange.
