QUINCY, Ill. - Saginaw Valley State University junior forward Matt Wilson has been selected as member of the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) Men's Soccer All-America Honorable Mention Team after his performance for the 2016 season.

Wilson, who also earned D2CCA All-Midwest Region First Team honors, completed his junior season at the Cardinals' leading goal scorer, finishing with 15. The junior forward ranked tops in several GLIAC statistics, placing first in points (41), assists (11), and had six game-winning goals (ranks 2nd in GLIAC). He tied for third in the league with 56 shots. Wilson now sits fourth in program history with 21 career goals in just his second season in a Cardinals uniform. He earned All-GLIAC First Team honors for his solid performance in 2016.

The Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
