Congratulations to JSA athlete, Marco Afonso, for being named second team all-conference for the first time in his collegiate career! With 4 goals and 7 assists in the regular season, the South-African winger has been a key player for the UNCG Spartans. The Spartans are currently ranked no9. in the nation and will be competing in the NCAA Division 1 national championship in the coming weeks.
Afonso was also named in College Soccer News' national team of the week earlier in the season, in addition to being named the Southern Conference's offensive player of the week. His performances in the SoCon tournament where he scored a hat-trick and gave an assist in the semi-final led to his inclusion in the All-Tournament Team.
