http://TarHeelBlue.ocsn.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/100603aaa.html I love it when a defender gets recognized. This guy is a good player.
And his closest competition for the honor may have been the Tarheel's other central defender Grant Porter!
He's playing great in the back...not bad for a converted attacking mid. Though he does get forward on all set pieces, since at (allegedly) 6', he's the biggest field player for UNC.
Well deserved. Agree that to often defenders get overlooked. Many times it goes to a forward who had a terrible game but scored the winning goal.
