The NSCAA has selected Michael Stark and Michael Rouhana to the 2008 All-South Region Team announced this morning. It is the first time in both of their careers they have garnered this honor.

Stark, a freshman from Newport News, Va. was a staple in the backfield for the Maroons all season. His field smarts and ability to win nearly every 50/50 ball made a big impact on the defense, which was nationally ranked all season long in goals against average and shutout percentage. His production led to 10 defensive shutouts, tied for third most in school-history. The First-Team All-ODAC selection started in all 20 games this season. He finished the year with a goal against Randolph-Macon in the ODAC Quarterfinals and an assist against Bridgewater in the regular-season finale. He had 16 shots, eight on goal for the season. His best day offensively came against the Yellow Jackets with four shots, three on goal.

Rouhana, a senior forward, was named to the all-south region team for the first time in his career. A native of Minnesota, he was considered the most athletic player on the team and was uncanny in creating his own scoring opportunities. The Second-Team All-ODAC selection finished the year with three goals and four assists for 10 points. He led the team in shots (49) and tied for second in shots on goal (19) with all three of his goals as game-winners. One of those came on his final goal of the season with four-seconds left to defeat Hampden-Sydney, 2-1 in the ODAC Semifinals.

The Maroons fell, 1-0 to Virginia Wesleyan in the ODAC Championship to finish 14-4-2 on the season. They won the regular season ODAC Title with an 8-1-1 mark, falling only to Randolph-Macon and tying regionally-ranked Lynchburg. The Maroons avenged their only conference loss to the Yellow Jackets, 4-0 in the ODAC Quarterfinals. They were nationally-ranked all season in shutout percentage and goals against average.
