BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana men's soccer's Jack Maher and Aidan Morris earned All-America honors from United Soccer Coaches, the organization announced on Thursday night.
Maher was tabbed to the second team, while Morris was named a third-team member. Indiana has placed a total of 45 athletes on All-America teams with 72 combined honors in the program's illustrious history. The Hoosiers have compiled multiple All-America selections in each of the last four seasons and at least one selection in six-straight seasons.
Morris is the seventh freshman to earn All-America honors in program history. He joins an exclusive list that includes Armando Betancourt (1979), John Stollmeyer (1982), Ken Snow (1987), Chad Deering (1989), Todd Yeagley (1991), and Nick Garcia (1997).

Maher anchored the Indiana defense with 22 starts along the defensive back line. He led the Hoosier defense that yielded 16 goals in 22 matches. Indiana allowed only one goal in five postseason matches during the '19 season. Maher tallied 10 points (three goals, four assists) for the Hoosiers and netted two game-winning tallies this season, a golden goal against UCLA and a 28th minute goal from the spot at Michigan State.
