Loew named NSCAA First Team All-Region

GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Junior forward Seth Loew (Center Valley, Pa./Southern Lehigh) became the first Grove City College men's soccer player in 28 years to earn First Team All-Region honors when he was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America's NCAA Division III Great Lakes Region First Team on Wednesday afternoon.

Loew, who earned Third Team All-Region honors last year as a sophomore, is just the second Wolverine in program history to earn a spot on the First Team and the first since standout defender Bill Juergens did so during his senior season in 1986 en route to earning Second Team All-America honors. Loew is also just the fourth Grove City player to earn NSCAA All-Region accolades multiple times and the first since defender Jim Pekins did so in the 1982 and 1983 seasons.

The 2014 Presidents' Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a three-time All-PAC First Team selection, Loew led the conference with 10 goals and 29 points while ranking second in the league with a team-best nine assists. He also was tops in goals (7), assists (4) and points (18) in league games.

Loew's 29 points are the seventh-highest single-season total in program history and also mark the highest offensive output by a Grove City player since two-time conference MVP Bob McNees recorded 35 in the 2006 season. Through his junior year, Loew is tied for third in program history with 15 assists, tied for fifth in career points (65) and tied for eighth in career goals (25).

Grove City finished the 2014 season with a 12-8-1 overall record and a 6-2 record in PAC play. The team advanced to the conference championship match for the first time since 2005 and earned an ECAC Division III South tournament berth for the first time since 2011.
