2021 UNITED SOCCER COACHES DIII ALL-REGION LINK

BREVARD, N.C. – Brevard College sophomore defender Sam O'Callaghan was selected as an All-Region VI Third Team honoree by United Soccer Coaches. The honor becomes the first All-Region award for BC men's soccer in the program's NCAA DIII-era.

O'Callaghan, a native of Wicklow, Ireland, logged a pair of goals with three assists for seven points in a stellar sophomore campaign, bringing his career total to three goals and seven assists in two seasons with the Tornados. O'Callaghan scored both of his goals via penalty kick, including one that proved to be the game-winner over Pfeiffer on September 29.

The sophomore was recently honored by the USA South Conference with All-Conference First Team and West Division First Team plaudits upon the conclusion of the Fall 2021 regular season. In Spring 2021, O'Callaghan earned West Division First Team honors in his freshman season while helping lead the Tornados to a Spring 2021 USA South West Division Tournament Championship victory.

O'Callaghan has totaled three goals and seven assists for 13 total points in his two seasons at Brevard, starting and playing in 25 total contests.

Brevard, under the direction of Head Coach Helio "L" D'Anna, Associate Head Coach Juan Mascaro Jr., and Volunteer Assistant Coach Mario Pinto, qualified for its third-straight postseason in the Fall of 2021. BC finished its season with an impressive 9-4-3 overall record that included a 2-2-2 mark in conference play, earning the West Division's third seed in the 2021 USA South Conference Men's Soccer Tournament.
