Two Cardinals Named NCAA DII CCA All-America

Two Cardinals Named NCAA DII CCA All-America

The NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association announced the 2022 men's soccer All-America teams on Wednesday afternoon. Jonathan Monney was listed among the first-team recipients, while Benjamin Adamson made the third team.

Monney finished his debut season with SVSU leading the GLIAC with 16 goals, six game-winning scores, and 37 points. He was second in assists behind teammate Robbie Baker and second in shots with 52. The Kitchener, Ontario native tied for fourth in NCAA Division II stats for game-winning goals, sixth in goals, and eighth in total points.

"Jonny Monney came into SVSU this season as a new player also. He immediately put himself on the map as he was within the top three goal scorers in the nation for Division II at about halfway through the season. He contributed to our successes massively this season, as scoring goals is the hardest thing to do," said Barrow.

Adamson also returns to the first-team All-Midwest Region after earning the honor last season. He tallied a career-high three goals this season, including a game-winning score in the 3-0 win over Tiffin. His six points were the second-most points among defenders on the team and matched his career-high set just a season ago.

"Ben Adamson did not put a foot wrong this season, anchoring the back line," said SVSU head men's soccer coach Louis Barrow. "He was stellar in his leadership and was key to our success. He contributed offensively also with three goals, including a stunning bicycle kick away at St Cloud."
