LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - For the second straight year, a UNLV men's soccer player from the Las Vegas area earned All-America status as sophomore Danny Musovski was selected to the NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America ) All-America Second Team, the national organization announced on Friday.
Musovski, a native of Henderson (Liberty HS), is not only the fourth player in UNLV history to earn All-America honors, he is now the second in as many years. Salvador Bernal of Las Vegas, a senior on last year's team, was named to the third team and was later drafted by Toronto FC in the MLS Draft.
The 2015 WAC Offensive Player of the Year, Musovski was also named to the NSCAA All-West Region first team earlier this week, his first career regional honor as well. He scored 14 goals in his second year, the most by a Rebel since 1990 and tied for ninth-best in a season, rank him sixth in the nation. He also paced the WAC in the regular season total points with 34, which is currently tied for fourth-highest in the nation, as well as the eighth-best mark in a UNLV season. Musovski notched seven game-winning goals this season, tied for second-highest mark in the nation, with five of them coming in one-goal victories, three in the final five minutes of the contest. He also received WAC Player of the Week honors in the final week of the regular season after a multi-goal game clinched the Rebels' spot in the league tournament.
UNLV finished the season with a 12-7-1 mark and reached the semifinals of the WAC Tournament before falling to Utah Valley, an eventual NCAA At-Large squad.
