Michael King Chosen NSCAA NCAA All-East Second-Team Member

Senior Michael King of the Clarkson University Men's Soccer team was rewarded for his fine 2016 season when he was selected to the NSCAA NCAA Division III Men's All-East Region Second-Team late last week.

King became just the third Clarkson player in the past 15 seasons to earn NSCAA All-Region honors, joining former teammate Trevor Blackwell (2011, 2014) and Jonathan Banz (2002).

The entire Clarkson defense stood out in 2016 as the Golden Knights ranked 33rd in goals against average (0.78 gpg) and 29th in shutout percentage (0.50), but it was King who backboned the effort. The senior from Verona, NJ led the Liberty League in every statistical category for goalkeepers, including total saves (74) and saves per game (4.93 spg), while his accomplishments were even more impressive when considering where they ranked on the national level. King finished fourth in save percentage (.881) and 14th in goals against average (0.642) among all goalkeepers in NCAA Division III. His eight shutouts in 2016 were also just two shy of the single-season record at Clarkson, a program which dates back to 1953.
