ATLANTA, GA- Midfielder Lukas Elmhammar and forward Nicolas Roth were each named First-Team All-SAA for their efforts throughout the 2014 season.
Eight Majors total made the All-Conference team as they helped lead Millsaps to their finest season in school history. The club set a record for wins with 13 and tied the record with seven wins in a row as they captured their second straight SAA regular season crown.
"Always proud of our guys getting individual honors," coach Steve Voltz said."At the same time, we are proud of the team success we had this year, this is a talented league and I am happy our kids got recognition"
Elmhammar tied for the conference lead in points with 40 while finishing second in goals (16) and first in assists (8). The junior shattered the school record for game-winning goals with eight this season.
Roth finished third in the conference with nine goals on the season despite playing in only 13 matches due to injury. The sophomore also added six assists to finish the season with 24 points, also third in the SAA. Roth also was named to the SAA All-Tournament team after his two-goal effort in the win over Hendrix.
Joining Roth and Elmhammar are six Majors who were named Honorable Mention All-Conference. Goalkeeper Johnathan Huebbe earned the honor after a strong season that saw him post 10 victories and a 1.59 goals against average. The 10 wins were third in the SAA.
Defenders Christopher Lawrence and Daniel Staursky were also named Honorable Mention. Both defenders helped to anchor the Majors' backline that posted two shutouts. Staursky provided four assists on the season while Lawrence netted two goals off free kicks.
Up front, the Majors placed midfielder Jan Bergk and forwards Alex Bourland and Anthony Hayden to the Honorable Mention team. Bergk played a punishing style that helped solidify the Majors' midfield. The freshman netted two goals, both game-winners while starting all but one match this season. Bourland was third on the team with four goals on the season. Hayden was an integral part of the Majors' attack with his speed and tenacity helping start many scoring plays and chances. Hayden scored the game-winner in the Majors' victory over Maryville (TN.) and assisted on the game-winner in the victory against the Berry Vikings.
