Four Cardinal Claim Regional All-America Honors
Junior Defender Jamie Clark Heads List With First Team Selection
Four members of the 15th-ranked Stanford University men's soccer team
received NCAA Division I Far West Region All-America honors. Junior defender
Jamie Clark (Hanover, NH/North Carolina) received first team honors while
freshman goalkeeper Adam Zapala and junior midfielders Simon Elliott and Shan
Gaw (Olympia, WA/Capital HS) were each voted onto the second team. The players
are selected by a vote of the region's head coaches.
Stanford's four selections led the region, followed by UCLA, Washington, New
Mexico and Portland, which each placed three players on the two teams. Zapala
(Cupertino, CA/Bellarmine Prep), who ranked fifth in the nation in goals-against
average, was the only freshman selected to either team.
