BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Senior midfielders Josh Tudela and John Michael Hayden have been named All-Great Lakes Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
Tudela, a first-team selection, was named Big Ten Player of the Year in 2006. After redshirting his first year, he went on to start 83 of the 90 games that he played in for the Hoosiers. Tudela scored 11 goals and tallied 17 assists in his career. A team captain as a senior, he led the team in the midfield, and set up a number of goals several passes before the score. Tudela assisted on the game-winning goal against Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship title game in 2006.
Hayden was named to the third-team. A first-team All-Big Ten selection as a senior, he scored 13 goals and had 10 assists in his Indiana career. Both of Hayden's goals this season came on penalty kicks. One of the biggest goals of his career came in his sophomore season in the 2004 NCAA semifinals against Maryland. Hayden scored off a header with 48 seconds remaining to send Indiana to the championship game.
Tudela and Hayden completed their careers with two NCAA championships (2003 and 2004), two Big Ten Championships (2003 and 2006) and an overall record of 64-14-15.
Indiana completed its season with a 15-4-3 record.
