Three Majors Highlight 2008 All-SCAC Soccer Team

SUWANEE, Ga. – In exclusive voting by coaches of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC), senior Anthony Amaya and juniors Corey Beaumont and Brandon Mong of Millsaps College have been named to the 2008 All-SCAC Men's Soccer Team.

Amaya becomes the first Major since Ned Welles in 2002 to garner second team honors, while three Majors haven't been named to the All-SCAC team in the same season since '96.

Millsaps tied a school record with five league wins and tied for third in overall wins, finishing the year at 9-11 and 5-5 in SCAC play, the best overall finish since the 1996 season.

Amaya had his best outing in his final season as a Major, finishing with five goals and a team-high seven assists (third in the SCAC) for 17 total points. He was a perfect 3-of-3 on penalty kicks for the year, including netting two in a 2-1 upset win at home over 16th-ranked Centre College in overtime.

Coming off ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI First Team honors, Mong had a stellar junior campaign with a team-high eight goals (t-fourth in the SCAC), .348 shot percentage and 16 points (t-second, team) to earn a nod on the All-SCAC Third Team.

Joining Mong as a third team selection was Beaumont who ranked second on the team in goals (seven) and points (16), while also contributing two assists and a game-winner. The speedster's .259 shot percentage and .481 SOG percentage was also a key stat.
