Casey Tabbed All-GNAC Third Team

BOSTON – Jordan Casey capped off his senior season on the Suffolk men's soccer team with a spot on the All-GNAC third team, the conference office announced Monday afternoon. 

Casey collected his third all-league honor in his career becoming just the fourth Ram to do so and first since Ben Daniels '17 completed his collegiate career with his third honor with a spot on the second team in 2016. 

The captain from East Hampton, Connecticut took the turf in 15 of Suffolk's 16 games this season, appearing in the line-up 13 times. He registered six points off a pair of goals and assists, respectively. His standout performance of the season came at Anna Maria Oct. 13 when he netted the game-winner in a 1-0 decision. 

Throughout his career he totaled 40 points on 13 goals and 14 handouts over 69 games. 

Simons Velez Angel also earned a conference honor, representing the Rams on the league's All-Sportsmanship Team, which was established to honor one player from each team in the conference for outstanding dedication to sportsmanship and for their portrayal of good sportsmanship, fair play and positive attitude. 

Since joining the GNAC ranks in 1999, Suffolk has earned 47 All-GNAC honors including one offensive player of the year, one defensive player of the year, three rookie of the year, nine first-team selections, 19 second-team honors and 14 third-team nods.
