Adam Clay All-Region	Phil Bocchino All-Region

BLOOMSBURG—The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) have named Bloomsburg University men's soccer players Adam Clay (Dallas/Dallas) and Phil Bocchino (Fort Washington/LaSalle) to the 2002 Division II All-Northeast Region team.

Clay, a sophomore, was named first team, while Bocchino, a senior, was named to the second team. It is the first time in four seasons the Huskies have had anyone selected to the squad.

Clay, a forward, was the Huskies' top scorer with eight goals and four assists for 20 points. He led a resurgent Bloomsburg offensive attack that more than doubled its scoring output from the year before (from 22 goals to 47 goals). Clay also scored the game-winning goals against Wilmington College, Goldey-Beacom and Bridgeport. He opened the season by scoring goals in four of the first five games. He was also named first team All-PSAC this season.

Bocchino, a senior defender, was a tenacious organizer of defense that allowed 17 goals in 19 regular season matches and just 21 for the year. Tactically and vocally he led the back four and was the emotional leader of the team. He, too, was first team All-PSAC this season.

Both Clay and Bocchino helped the Huskies to a record of 12-3-5 and a ranking as high as number eight in the country during the year. Bloomsburg also set school records with a 12-game winning streak and a 16-game unbeaten streak, both dating back to last season. The 12 wins also were one shy of the school record for victories in a season.
