Maurice Wright Named to NSCAA/adidas ® Division III Great Lakes All-Region First Team

Calvin College senior Maurice Wright has been named to the adidas ® Division III Great Lakes All-Region first by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

As a member of the first team, Wright is now eligible for All-America consideration.

Earlier this week, Wright was named to the Great Lakes All-Region third team by D3kicks.com.

A graduate of Wauwatosa East High School, Wright hails from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

A stopper-back on defense, Wright also managed to score three goals and collect two assists this fall for a total of eight points. Over the course of his four-year Calvin career, Wright scored eight goals and picked up 11 assists for a total of 27 points.

This fall, he helped the Calvin men’s soccer record an overall record of 10-5-5 including a third place finish in the MIAA with an 8-2-4 conference mark. Despite several first-year starters around him, Wright helped the Calvin defense post nine shutouts this fall and a team goals-against-average of 1.02. Calvin also finished the year with a nine-game unbeaten streak, posting a 7-0-2 record during that stretch.

At the conclusion of the year, Wright was named to the All-MIAA first team and was also voted Calvin’s team MVP.
