Kansas City, Mo. - Le Moyne College junior goalkeeper
Ben Beaury (Cohoes, N.Y./LaSalle Institute) has been named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) men's soccer All-America Third Team, as voted upon and released by the association on Thursday.
Beaury is the first Le Moyne goalkeeper in the program's history to earn NSCAA All-America honors. Yesterday, he became the first Dolphin netminder to earn NSCAA First Team All-Region honors and just the third to be named to any NSCAA team as Tim Mann earned second team honors in 2005 and Steve White was tabbed to the second team in 2009. The first Le Moyne netminder in the program's 21 seasons in the Northeast-10 Conference to be named NE10 Goalkeeper of the Year, Beaury registered a 0.83 goals against average, a .733 save percentage, 13 victories and seven shutouts over 1737:14 between the pipes. He ranks second in the Northeast-10 in shutouts, third in wins, fourth in goals against average and eighth in save percentage. In conference action, he recorded a 0.69 goals against average, a .714 save percentage, 20 saves, eight wins and five shutouts. He tied for the league lead in shutouts, while his goals against average and win total were third. On the program's single-season charts, he has the fourth-best goals against average, he is tied for the fourth-most wins and he is tied for the seventh-most shutouts. He registered at least three saves in eight contests and made a season-best five in a 2-1 win at Merrimack in the NE10 Semifinals on November 4.
Le Moyne, which appeared in the NCAA Championships for the eighth time in the program's history, but fell in the opening round to Southern New Hampshire, finished the season with a record of 14-5-2. The Dolphins, who were seeded third, made their 19th Northeast-10 Conference Championships appearance in their 21 years in the league and advanced to the title game for the fifth time. The tournament appearance was Le Moyne's 16th consecutive berth, the second-longest active streak in the league behind Southern New Hampshire.
