KANSAS CITY MO. – The North Carolina men's soccer trio of Quenzi Huerman (First Team), Riley Thomas (Second Team) and Sam Williams (Third Team) collected United Soccer Coaches All-South Region honors.

Huerman finished the season ranking atop the best players in the Atlantic Coast Conference and nationally, ranking third in the ACC in goals (10), points (27) and points per game (1.35/game).
Named to the All-ACC Second Team last month, Thomas appeared in 18 matches this fall, earning the start 17 times. The Atlanta, Ga. native logged 1,965 minutes, playing the full 90 on 13 occasions. Thomas helped anchor a Carolina defense that ranked second in the ACC in goals allowed (15) and goals allowed average (0.67/game).
