COLUMBIA, KY - Five Lindsey Wilson College men's soccer student-athletes were selected to the 2012 NAIA All-America teams, officials from the national office announced on Monday, December 3, 2012.



Lindsey Wilson senior Lebogang Moloto headlines the Blue Raider quintet as he repeats as a first team All-American earning his third first-team nod of his career. He was also named first-team in 2009 during his freshman season and honorable mention in 2010. Moloto posted 16 goals and four assists this season while leading the Blue Raiders to a No. 1 ranking and to the national tournament semifinals. He was selected the tournament's Most Outstanding Offensive Player.

Freshman midfielder Yazeed Davids and senior defender Sicelo Buthelezi were selected NAIA second team All-American and senior forward Eddy Campbell earned a third team selection. Sophomore goalkeeper Yuta Nomura earned honorable mention honors. The four selections to the first, second and third teams tied with University of Rio Grande for the most from any one school.

With today's announcement, the Lindsey Wilson men's program increases the total of all-Americans to a NAIA-best 65 selections. Honorable mention selections are not included in this total.

Lindsey Wilson (22-2) finished its 2012 season as the top-ranked team entering the postseason. The Blue Raiders fell in the national semifinals to eventual national champion Belhaven (Jackson, MS.) 1-0.
