IRVING, Texas (www.ucfathletics.com) - Three UCF men's soccer players were selected to receive All-Conference USA honors, the league announced on Wednesday. Headlining the list on the all-conference second team was sophomore forward Zak Boggs (Vienna, W.Va./The Pendleton School), while midfielder Cam Jordan (Fort Wayne, Ind./Canterbury HS) and defender Akin Akinrinade (Merrillville, Ind./Merrillville HS) were named to the all-conference freshman team.
Boggs, who transferred from West Virginia prior to season, led all UCF players with five goals and an assist for 11 points. He scored the game-winning goals in the team's 1-0 shutouts over Furman and No. 17 Memphis.
Jordan started in 10 of the 15 matches he played and recorded a goal and two assists for four points. He assisted on Boggs' game-deciding tally against Furman before netting his first collegiate goal in the 1-0 win over in-state conference rival Florida International.
Starting all 14 of his matches, Akinrinade helped anchor a defense that posted five shutouts.
