ICCAC Division II Men's Soccer Releases 2022 All-Region Selections

November 9, 2022

The 2022 All-Region teams were unveiled on Wednesday for ICCAC Division II Soccer, a league in which the top two teams recently earned bids to the NJCAA National Tournament.

Northeast, by way of winning the Plains District Championship, reached this year's national tournament. The Hawks were represented on the First Team by three players, including both the Player and Coach of the Year awards.

Jeevan Purewal was the ICCAC's leading scorer in all categories -- goals, assists, and points. He had 16 goals, 11 dimes and 43 points -- overall good for 10th best in the country in points. Purewal had four multi-goal games which included a hat trick against Scott.

Luca Baltzer and Teun van der Donk were the other Northeast players that were placed on First Team. Baltzer, the 2022 Region 11 Tournament MVP, facilitated from the midfield with five goals and nine assists.

van der Donk led the Hawks' defensive efforts.

Adam Potter was voted coach of the year after leading Northeast to is first Region 11 title and first National Tournament appearance. In his first season, Potter led the Hawks to 18 wins. Prior to that, Northeast, in seven seasons, had not finished with a record over .500.

Southeastern, by way of at-large bid, reached the NJCAA Tournament. The Blackhawks won the regular season conference crown, and with that, earned four First Team selections.

Juan Torres was the Blackhawks top choice. The sophomore goalkeeper allowed just eight goals and a goals-against average of .85.

Helping Torres in limiting goals were defensemen Goran Zencovich and Yashiaki Takeishi. Propeling SCC's offense was their top goal-scorer Foslyn Grant who had nine goals and First Team recognition.

Two Hawkeye players were named to the First Team in 2022. Joe Farlow had 11 goals, leading the team. He added six assists to finish third in the conference in points behind Purewal and Northeast forward Paul Eniero.

His offensive partner Dilesh Patel was the other RedTail on the First Team. Patel had seven goals and eight assists in a solid sophomore campaign.

NIACC received two selections as well -- with Hugo Garcia-Rosado Duran and Giovani Lima Soares. Duran had 10 goals while Soares contributed seven scores with two goals and five assists.

Scott's Ovaldo Perez was the Eagles' lone selection to the First Team this season, concluding this year's selections.
