ANDERSON, S.C. – Anderson junior Lasse Sohrweide headlines the 2010 Daktronics NCAA Division II all-Southeast Region Men’s Soccer Team, garnering Region Player of the Year honors to lead a group of five repeat selections, announced region officials Tuesday. 

Sohrweide adds to his already impressive trophy case this season, supplementing South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year honors with his first career Southeast Region Player of the Year recognition. A native of Flensburg, Germany, Sohrweide garners Daktronics all-Southeast Region First Team honors for the second straight season after leading Anderson to the SAC Tournament title in the school’s first season in the league. Sohrweide currently ranks among the top 30 players in the nation in goals, assists, and points. 

Seniors Adrien Moufflet and Zach Denson joined Sohrweide on the all-region squad, garnering second-team recognition. Moufflet, a native of Bordeaux, Ferance, earned first team All-SAC honors and was also named to the league’s all-tournament team. The midfielder finished the regular season tied for fourth in the SAC and ranked 20th in the nation in total assists and was fifth on the team with three goals. A native of Lilburn, Ga., Denson was named to the SAC All-Tournament Team and earned second team all-conference accolades after helping lead the Trojan defense to eight shutouts on the season. As a defender, Denson recorded six assists to rank 10th in the league and 55th in the nation.

Lees-McRae College and Clayton State University led the way with five selections each, while Wingate University placed four on the all-Southeast Region teams. Sohrweide was joined by 2009 selections Duffy, Luke Mulholland (Preston, England) of Wingate, Robert Hill (Middlesborough, England) of Carson-Newman College and Matthew Findlay (Liverpool, England) of Carson-Newman.
