KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second consecutive season, junior midfielder David Loera of the NC State men's soccer team has been named to the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Men's All-South Region First Team, the organization announced Monday afternoon.
Loera started all 19 matches of the 2019 season, tying for the team lead in goals (5) and tying for second on the team in assists (3). He led the Wolfpack in total shots (47) and shots on goal (18). Loera scored one match-winning goal this season in a 1-0 win over ETSU on Oct. 8. He helped lead the Wolfpack to a 9-7-3 record, a fifth-place finish in the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season standings—best for the program since 2005—and played a significant role in the Wolfpack qualifying for its third consecutive NCAA Championship, something which was last done at NC State in 1985-87.
Throughout his three-year career at NC State, Loera has played in 57 matches (all starts). He has scored nine goals and recorded 15 assists for a total of 33 points. Additionally, he has earned All-ACC postseason recognition every season, making the All-Freshman Team in 2017, the All-ACC First Team in 2018, and the All-ACC Second Team in 2019.
