Emory's Carver & Del Marmol Named to the NSCAA/ Adidas All-America Team

For just the second time in the program's history, the ninth-ranked Emory University placed two members on the NSCAA/ Adidas NCAA Division III Men's Soccer All-America Team, as senior forward Patrick Carver was named to the First Team, and senior midfielder Marc Del Marmol earned a spot on the Second Team.

The two all-Americans matches a program-best set after the 1990 season, when Ho Lee was named to the first team, and Scott Cahoon was named to the third team.  In addition, Carver became the first player in school history to become a two-time all-American, following his First Team berth after the 2007 season.

Carver also earned a spot on the all-South Region first team, and his second-straight UAA Player of the Year honor earlier in the season, becoming the first Emory men's soccer player to do so.  This season, the senior led the team with 13 goals and 33 points, and moved into second place in school history with 129 career points and 50 points.  He started all 19 games for Emory during the campaign, scoring four game-winning goals, and assisting on three game winners.

Del Marmol finished his season with a career-best eight goals and 17 points, including three game-winning goals.  The senior led all Emory players with 11 points in UAA play, and was second in the conference with five UAA goals.  Earlier in the year, Del Marmol earned his second-consecutive nod to an all-region team and an all-UAA First Team honor.  This was his first all-America honor.

Del Marmol becomes the 13th Emory player to earn a spot on the all-America team. Emory was one of six schools to have multiple representatives on the Division III All-America teams this season.

The Eagles finished the 2008 season with a 16-2-1 record, with a University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship, and advanced to the round of 16 of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
