SALEM, Va. – With the 2022 season complete, the United Soccer Coaches have recently announced their All-Region teams with a pair of Roanoke men's soccer players being named to a squad.
Dylan Berk was named Second Team All-Region VI while teammate Chris Jerrild was a Third Team All-Region VI selection. Both had previously been named to the All-ODAC First Team following the ODAC regular season. The pair led the Maroons to the ODAC Championship game for the first time since 2014, falling to Washington and Lee, 2-1.
Berk, playing a mostly defensive role in the midfield, constantly pressured his opponents into costly turnovers throughout the season. He started every game for the Maroons this year scoring one goal and two assists. Against Randolph-Macon on Oct. 8, he scored the game-winning goal and assisted on another in the 3-0 shutout over the Yellow Jackets. He finished his career starting 65 of the 64 games he played in, scoring nine goals, 13 assists and going 2-2 on penalty kicks. Three of his goals were game-winners. He was also named First Team All-ODAC in 2021 and Second Team All-ODAC during the spring 2021 and 2019 seasons.
Jerrild, a true defender, started all 18 games he played in this season and 66 of the 80 for his career. While not having offensive stats on his ledger, he helped lead the defense that had seven shutouts this season. In his career he has scored three goals and assisted on four others. In the Spring 2021, he scored the game-winning goal against Washington and Lee in a 1-0 shutout. He earned Second Team All-ODAC honors during both the 2021 and Spring 2021 seasons along with Third Team honors in 2019.
