December 13, 2016 | Men's Soccer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Freshman forward Rex Epps was recognized on the All-Northeast Region second team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).

Epps was one of 33 players to be selected All-Northeast Region, and one of 12 Patriot League players to land the honor.

Epps led Army with 11 goals this past fall to mark the most by a Black Knight since John Brence scored 12 goals in 1988. Epps led the Patriot League with five game-winning goals and started in all 18 of Army's matches.

A native of Irmo, S.C., Epps was chosen to the All-Patriot League third team following the regular season and won Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors twice during the campaign. Epps scored Army's first goal the Patriot League quarterfinals against eventual conference-champion Colgate on Nov. 8.

He becomes the first Army men's soccer player to collect NSCAA All-Region praise since Winston Boldt (USMA '15) received back-to-back honors in 2013 and 2014.
