Ralph and Dziadosz Earn All-Region Honors

ERIE, Pa. – Penn State Behrend men's soccer players Chris Ralph (Murrysville, PA/Franklin Regional) and Matt Dziadosz (Leechburg, PA/Kiski Area) were selected to the 2017 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III All-Great Lakes Region Team.

Ralph and Dziadosz each were awarded a spot on the first team after leading the Lions to success on both the defensive and offensive spectrums of the field, respectively. They will both move onto the ballot for a chance at All-American status.

Goalkeeper Ralph, previously named the AMCC Defensive Player of the Year, has yet another award to add to his accolades, being named to the All-Region First Team for the second consecutive year. He ended his sophomore season averaging .73 goals-against while allowing only four conference goals to rank first in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC). Ralph accumulated eight shutouts during the regular season to rank him 13^th in the country.

Dziadosz put together his best season in a Behrend uniform. He was recently named to the AMCC First Team for the first time in his career and now has an All-Region honor to cap off his career. Dziadosz led the Lions in goals (10), assists (11), and points (31), ranking him tied for fifth, second, fourth in the conference respectively.
