Lynn Men’s Soccer Sees Three Selected All-SSC

Alexander RothNiklas Tasky and Alun Webb from Lynn University’s men’s soccer team have been selected to the All-Sunshine State Conference First Team, as announced by the league office on Thursday.  All three were first team honorees a year ago and this marks the first time since 2007-08 the Fighting Knights have had three repeat first team selections.

Roth currently leads the SSC in total shutouts with 10 and is second in goals-against average (0.52) and save percentage (.814).  The senior out of Graz, Austria moved into the top-10 in program history with 18 career shutouts while his .803 save percentage is third and 0.67 GAA is sixth in program history. 

Tasky is a brooding presence who anchors the Fighting Knights defense.  Lynn has surrendered only 44 shots on goal in 15 games, an average of just 2.9 per match.  The 6-foot-4 Hannover, Germany, product typically marks opposing team’s top players and held all six All-SSC forward selections to a combined one goal and no assists.

Webb continues to be an offensive force in his second year with the Blue and White.  He is second in the league in total points (20), tied for second in goals with eight and tied for 11th with four assists.  Webb’s eight goals surpassed his total from last season while his 20 points is three shy of his previous years mark.
