Green Earns Fourth Career United Soccer Coaches All-Region Honor
SEGUIN, Texas -- Fifth-year senior Luis Green (Monterrey, Mexico/Smithson Valley) of the Texas Lutheran men's soccer team was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Region X First Team, the organization announced Tuesday (Nov. 29).
Green, who will graduate as one of the most decorated players in Texas Lutheran, SCAC, and Division-III men's soccer history, is now a four-time All-Region honoree - earning first team honors in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
A senior forward from Monterrey, Mexico, Luis Green closed out his career in style, rewriting the conference record books en route to claiming his league record fifth-straight SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Year honor. Green finished second in the SCAC in both goals (19) and points (44) and third in game-winning goals (3), shots (71) and shots on goal (39). He capped off his historic career with a five-goal performance against Austin College in a win to bring his career total to an SCAC record 81 goals in just 78 games played. With that effort, he became just the fourth player in conference history, and the first since 2010, to score five or more goals in one contest. Green stands alone with his career marks, leaving Seguin first in SCAC history in goals scored (81), points (182), goals per game (1.04) and points per game (2.33). A nine-time SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week honoree during his TLU career, including three times this season, Green finishes his career tied for 10th all-time in NCAA history for career goals. In fact, his 81 goals are the most to cap off a career since Andrew Jenkins of St. Scholastica finished his career with 90 goals back in 2014.
Despite missing the postseason, Green still finished in the top 10 in all of Division-III in goals (19) and points (44).
As a first team all-region honoree, Green, who is a two-time United Soccer Coaches All-American, now has a chance to claim his third All-American honor with the All-American teams being announced tomorrow (Nov. 30).
