Jackson, MS – Majors Forward and Team Captain was recently named to the NSCAA NCAA Division III Men's All-American Team.
 
The National Soccer Coaches Association of America recently named Roth Second Team All-America as he completed the year with 16 goals, 15 assists and 47 points.  Roth's numbers not only led the SAA in nearly every offensive statistical category, but also finished in the top ten nationally in all of Division III Soccer.  Overall, Roth has scored 33 goals, 29 assists and totaled a staggering 95 points in 50 games for his career.
 
The recent All-American announcement adds to an already impressive list of postseason accolades that Roth and the Majors team has earned after the finest season in school history.
 
"Obviously we're very pleased for Nico to get this individual honor," Head Men's Soccer Coach Steve Voltz said.  "It shows again that our team success has given us the opportunity to showcase some of our individual talent as well and get those type of awards."
 
Roth's season high for the year occurred on the road against Hendrix College.  Down 2-0 at the half, the Majors looked to Roth's skill and leadership to mount a come from behind effort.  Roth answered by scoring two unanswered goals to tie the game 2-2.  With just minutes left in double overtime, Roth solidified the come from behind effort with a game-winning goal in the 107th minute.
 
Roth's four game-winning goals led the conference and spearheaded the reoccurring theme for the 2015 Men's Soccer Team – resiliency.  After two conference losses on the road, the Majors looked to Roth and the senior leadership to rebound.  The result was a six game winning streak for Millsaps as they won the conference tournament and in doing so, earned their first ever appearance to the NCAA Tournament in school history.
 
Roth was named SAA Tournament MVP with five goals, three assists and 13 points for the weekend.  He was also recently named SAA Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-SAA.  Five Majors earned all conference honors as the recent NSCAA announcement adds to another great list of accomplishments for the Millsaps Men's Soccer Team.
 
"We're very happy and proud for Nico to receive an award like this," Coach Voltz said.  "And at the same time we're also happy for the team to get recognition for their overall success this year."
