Junior Juan Luna<\/a><\/strong> (Mount Jackson, Va.\/Stonewall Jackson) has been named to the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) All-State Second Team.\u00a0 It’s the first All-State award for the men’s soccer forward.<\/p>\n

Luna was a dynamic offensive force up top for the Eastern Mennonite men<\/a>, as he finished with team highs of five goals, five assists and 15 points.\u00a0 He finished fourth in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in assists and seventh in total points.\u00a0 Luna also notched three game-winning goals in ODAC play, which led the league.\u00a0 In EMU’s big road upset of preseason favorite Roanoke on Oct. 2, Luna scored the game’s only goal late in the first half.<\/p>\n

This is the fifth straight year that the Royals have placed at least one men’s soccer player on an All-State team.\u00a0 They have had 15 All-State honorees since 2008.<\/p>\n

With a young team, Eastern Mennonite won three of their final four games in the regular season.\u00a0 They lost to eventual ODAC Champion Washington and Lee in the conference tournament, giving the Generals their closest contest in the tourney.<\/p>\n

The Royals finished 4-5-2 in the ODAC and 6-12-2 overall.<\/p>\n

VaSID<\/a> names 27 All-State teams in 15 sports each year, as well as an Academic All-State squad and an all-sports champion in both the University and College Divisions. Membership in VaSID is open to all media relations professionals working at a university, college or conference in the state of Virginia.<\/p>\n
