2016 NSCAA NCAA Division I Men's All-Far West Region Teams

KANSAS CITY - The National Soccer Coaches Association of America published All-Region Teams for NCAA Division I men's soccer on Tuesday. Senior forward Jakob Granlund was selected to the All-Far West Region Third Team, his first career region award from the NSCAA.

Granlund, a senior forward from Ikast, Denmark, battled injuries in 2016, but still led the team in points and assists. His 14 points were sixth in the WCC and his six assists were fourth. Granlund also scored four goals this year, good for second on the team and ninth in the WCC. His name is now etched permanently in the GU record books. He finished sixth in single-season assists this year. On the career lists he finished third with 17 assists and his 41 points are ninth. His 142 career shots rank eighth.

He is the first Bulldog to make an All-Region team since Nick Hamer, Josh Phillips and Clark Phillips were also named to the third team in 2013.

The teams were recognized ahead of Friday's announcement of the All-America Teams for NCAA Division I men's soccer.
