EMU’s\u00a0Emmanuel Boamah<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(Alexandria, Va.\/West Potomac) has earned a repeat spot on the United Soccer Coaches All-Region Team. The senior defender finishes his career with an elite spot on the All-South Atlantic Region First Team.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

With a spot on the Second Team last fall, Boamah became the first EMU men’s soccer player named All-Region since 2009. Now he enters even rarer air, becoming one of just five Royals ever to earn multiple All-Region honors, and the first since\u00a0Ryan Brenneman<\/strong>\u00a0in 1998-99.<\/p>\n

Jeff Shank<\/strong>\u00a0(1992-93),\u00a0Clay Rosenberger<\/strong>\u00a0(1993-94) and\u00a0Nate Derstine<\/strong>\u00a0(1994-96) are the other Eastern Mennonite men named to more than one All-Region Team. All of Boamah’s predecessors have since entered the\u00a0EMU Hall of Honor<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A four-year starter in EMU’s back line, Boamah, also a four-year All-ODAC honoree, has been a dynamic presence on the field. While routinely thwarting opponent’s attack up the middle, he got into EMU’s attack, often on set pieces. Boamah set career highs as a senior with four goals scored and one assist. He scored in three of the Royals’ final four games, and hit the game-winner against rival Bridgewater College for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

Boamah closed his career with eight goals (including three game-winners) and one assist.<\/p>\n

Coach Roger Mast said Boamah had a unique impact on his team.<\/p>\n

“We are so proud of Emmanuel and what he is contributed to our program in his four-year career,” Mast said. “E-man’s athleticism, passion for the game, and relentless desire to win made him one of the top defenders in both the conference and the South Atlantic Region. I am also proud of him for the way that he has matured as a man throughout his career. We will certainly miss his big smile next season.”<\/p>\n

In Mast’s 28th season, the Royals finished 9-9-1, earning their third straight season at .500 or better. At 6-4 in the ODAC, the men had their most wins in conference play since 2011.<\/p>\n

Boamah was one of 11 men from the Old Dominion Athletic Conference to earn a spot on the three All-Region Teams, and one of just four on the First Team.<\/p>\n
