Kocevski Earns USC All-Region Honors

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Senior Jeorgio Kocevski is a member of the 2023 United Soccer Coaches (USC) All-South Region First Team, the organization announced on Tuesday, Dec. 5.

Kocevski is recognized by the United Soccer Coaches for the second consecutive season, garnering 2022 All-South Region Third Team distinction during the team's national championship campaign.

Kocevski scored one goal and recorded 12 assists in 20 matches for Syracuse this season, earning All-ACC First Team honors and the program's first ACC Midfielder of the Year award. Kocevski's 12 assists are the most by a senior in program history and the third-most in a single season. The senior played 1,673 total minutes and the full time in eight matches. Kocevski was also No. 25 in the Top Drawer Soccer (TDS) Top 100 Midseason Rankings.
