SAN DIEGO -After a season that saw San Diego State men's soccer player Kyle Adams earn National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) all-region honors, the Auckland, New Zealand native was named to the 2015 College Soccer News All-Freshman third team, the organization announced.
Adams was one of four Pac-12 players to be named to one of the College Soccer News All-Freshman teams.
Adams started 18 of 19 contests for San Diego State at centerback, anchoring an Aztec backline that recorded the third-most shutouts (6) and fourth-lowest goals against average in the Pac-12 (1.29). Earlier this month, he became the Aztecs' third freshman to receive All-Region honors, and the program's first since 2006.
In 2015, San Diego State notched its best record since 2011 at 8-8-3, wrapping up the campaign with a thrilling 1-0 double overtime win at home over No. 16 UCLA. Three Aztecs garnered All-Pac-12 honors, with forward Rene Reyes collecting second team honors, and goalkeeper Adam Allmaras and defender Travis Nicklaw picking up honorable mention accolades. Additionally, Allmaras, junior midfielder Casey Macias and senior defenders Casey Phillips and Mark Revell earned Academic All-Pac-12 recognition.
