SGC’s Felipe Nascimento Named All America

South Georgia College freshman forward Felipe Nascimento has been named to the National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA) All Region and All America teams following a strong 2009 campaign with the Tigers.

Nascimento, of Coconut Creek, Fla., was one of the leading scorers in the country, and led the conference in both goals and points. In 17 games, Nascimento scored 21 goals, had eight assists and accounted for 50 points. He was sixth in the nation in goals and points.

As a result of his performance, he was named NSCAA All Region (Second Team) and NSCAA All America (Second Team). In addition, he was named to the Region XVII All Region team as well. “Felipe is an excellent player who plays the game the right way. He has great instincts, and he knows how to put the ball in the net. He was an important part of our offense this season, and he’s going to play an equally pivotal role for us next year,” says SGC head coach Ken Kirsch.
