Texas Lutheran forward Luis Green named to SCAC's 30th Anniversary Team
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Texas Lutheran's record-setting forward Luis Green has been named to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference's 30th Anniversary Team for Men's Soccer.
Green, one of just two current student-athletes on the all-anniversary team, has exploded onto the scene in two seasons at the collegiate level. The 2018 SCAC Newcomer of the Year, Green also was named SCAC Offensive Player of the Year in both 2018 and 2019.
Since the award began in 2003, Green is one of just two athletes to earn the distinction of SCAC Offensive Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons.
Through his first two seasons, Green has scored 38 goals (18 in 2018, 20 in 2019) and assisted on five others for 81 points. He led the SCAC in points, points per game, goals and goals scored per game in both his freshman and sophomore seasons.
Green's current average of 0.97 goals scored per game is ranked second all-time in SCAC history and his 2.077 points per game currently sits fifth all-time.
After helping guide the Bulldogs to their first-ever SCAC Tournament title and a trip to the 2019 NCAA Tournament, Green was elevated to Second Team All-America status after earning Third Team honors as a freshman in 2018. The NCAA Tournament berth was the second in TLU Men's Soccer history, following the 2002 tournament appearance.
In 2019, Green set new TLU DIII-era records for goals scored (20) and total points (43). TLU has been a member of the NCAA Division III since the 2002-03 academic year.
Green's 20 goals scored and 43 total points (20 goals, 3 assists) were the second-most goals scored and points recorded in a single season in TLU Men's Soccer history.
Green's production trailed only the 1994 season totals of former Bulldog Ariel Larre, who scored 22 goals and had 49 total points (22 goals, 5 assists).
Green, the Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the SCAC Tournament, registered three hat tricks in 2019 and scored nine goals in his last six matches of the season. He has scored 38 career goals in 39 career matches played at TLU.
In just two seasons, Green already ranks fourth on TLU's career list for goals, with 38, and total points, with 81.
TLU Hall of Famer Roger Gomez is the Bulldogs' all-time career leader in both categories, with 62 goals and 137 points scored.
Green already has 11 game-winning goals to his credit.
In 2019, the Bulldogs won a school-record 15 matches, going 15-6 overall and 7-2 in the SCAC.
The Bulldogs, the No. 2 seed in the SCAC Tournament, defeated tournament host Trinity 2-0 and top seed Colorado College 3-1 to claim the conference title and the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA DIII playoffs.
TLU played Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Calif.) in the NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship (first round) and fell 2-0 to the Stags. CMS advanced to the NCAA DIII third round, falling to eventual national semi-finalist Centre (Ky.).
TLU's 2020-21 season will start on Feb. 20, 2021 with a road match at the University of Dallas. TLU will play only conference matches in the 2020-21 season.

The conference championship will be contested on April 23 and April 25 at Centenary College in Shreveport, La. Only the top four teams in the conference standings advance to the conference championship tournament.
There is no NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship this year. With the health and safety of the division's student-athletes, coaches, athletics administrators and communities as its priority, the Division III Presidents Council made the decision on Aug. 5, 2020 to cancel all fall sport championships due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related administrative and financial challenges.
The SCAC will be announcing 30th Anniversary teams in 21 sports throughout the 2020-21 academic year.
The league selected 15th Anniversary teams during the 2005-06 academic year – those selections can be found here.
The SCAC's 30th Anniversary teams were selected through balloting by present coaches in each sport as well as administrators. Athletes who participated in conference competition between the fall of 2005 through the spring of 2020 and had been named to at least two All-SCAC teams and/or were selected as a Player-of-the-Year in their respective sport were eligible for selection.
The SCAC was formed in 1991 after a reorganization of its predecessor, the College Athletic Conference (CAC). The CAC dates to 1962 with four charter members: Centre College, Southwestern @ Memphis (now Rhodes College), Sewanee-The University of the South, and Washington & Lee (Va.) University. Washington (Mo.) University joined the CAC later that same year.
TLU has been a member of the SCAC since the 2013-14 academic year.
The SCAC was formed to provide an association through which the member institutions may encourage organized competition in intercollegiate sports among teams representative of their respective student bodies. Members of this conference share a commitment to priority of the overall quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences.
