BLOOMINGTON — United Soccer Coaches announced its All-North Regions teams Tuesday (Dec. 5), featuring a Hoosier from every third of the pitch.
Senior defender and captain Joey Maher and junior forward Samuel Sarver earned first-team honors. Junior midfielder Patrick McDonald landed on the second team. All three players earned first-team All-Big Ten selections earlier this season.
Maher was one of two captains for IU this fall while leading the backline. Indiana ranks tied-for ninth nationally with nine clean sheets and No. 11 in goals against average, with an 0.777 mark. He added two goals and an assist. Maher will attend the adidas MLS College Showcase this week with fellow IU defender Hugo Bacharach.
Sarver was IU's leading producer offensively, collecting career-highs in goals (8), assists (6) and points (22). In a nine-game split between October 7 and November 12, Sarver totaled nine goal contributions (five goals, four assists) in nine games as the Hoosiers went 8-1 and rallied to win the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles. With 52 points in his career, Sarver became IU's first junior to reach 50 points since Nikita Kitlov in 2012.
McDonald appeared in all but one match, missing only the game against Division-III Trine. The junior tallied three goals and five assists, both career highs. In the NCAA Tournament, McDonald recorded two assists at Wake Forest and scored a game-tying goal at Notre Dame in the Elite Eight.
