Finlay was joined by teammates Brian Holt (Omaha, Neb.) on the first team, while fellow Bluejays Andrew Duran (Mokena, Ill.) and Greg Jordan (Naperville, Ill.) earned second team honors as Creighton claimed the most spots on the team. Led by Martinez, North Carolina placed three players on the squad with Hermann Trophy finalist Billy Schuler (Allentown, N.J.) and Matthew Hedges (Carmel, Ind.).

Good idea to acknowledge UEFA right at the conclusion of the club season. If the Euros have the drama of this year's UCL it should be a great month of international soccer in June.

Nothing about this website surprises me anymore. It is simply awesome. Being an NSCAA member has never been worth more.

Great to have Sam Snow of US Youth Soccer include a plan and a rationale for when we can begin to coach heading.
