Echeverry, Kimmel earn All-SCIAC honors

ORANGE, Calif. – A pair of Chapman University men's soccer players in senior F Nick Echeverry and sophomore M Boston Kimmel have been named All-Conference as announced Wednesday by the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC). The duo led the Panthers to their first-ever SCIAC postseason appearance, posting a 12-8-2 record including a 9-6-1 mark in conference play.

The senior, Echeverry, earned a first team selection after leading the team in nearly every offensive category including goals (13), assists (3), points (29), shots (65), shots on goal (33) and game-winning goals (7). The Anaheim, Calif. native, with a flair for the dramatic, set a Chapman record with his seven game-winning goals and ranks in the top 10 all-time in most offensive categories. The all-conference selection is the first of his career.

Kimmel, who earned his second straight selection to the second team, finished second to Echeverry with 13 points (five goals, three assists) in 21 games in his sophomore season. He tallied 1,337 minutes, the second-highest mark on the team, while tallying an impressive .590 shots on goal percentage.

The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference was established in 1915. The league is currently comprised of nine private colleges and universities in Southern California: California Institute of Technology, California Lutheran University, Chapman University, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges, University of La Verne, Occidental College, Pomona-Pitzer Colleges, University of Redlands, and Whittier College. The conference recognizes outstanding athletic achievements of its student-athletes on a weekly and annual basis.
