On Tuesday, St. Thomas Aquinas College Men's Soccer player Jorge Umana was named as a D2CCA All-East Region selection. Umana garnered first team kudos in a vote of the region's College Sports Information and Athletic Communications staffs.
Umana, the senior from Orangeburg, N.Y., registered a team and ECC-leading 12 goals and six assists, for 30 points, while playing in all 16 contests for the Spartans. He was named an ECC All-Conference First Team selection earlier this month and was the ECC Player of the Week on August 29 for his four goal performance against Saint Michael's College.
With his selection to the first team, Umana will be on the national ballot for All-American consideration.
St. Thomas Aquinas finished the season with a 6-6-4 overall record.
