LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville freshman defender Tim Kubel was named First Team All-South Region by the NSCAA earlier this week while junior midfielder Ben Strong was a Third Team selection.
Kubel (Stuttgart, Germany) led the Cardinals with seven goals and added five assists while starting all 22 matches in his first collegiate season. Selected as the 2014 ACC Freshman of the Year as well as an All-ACC Second Team honoree, Kubel scored three game-winning goals this season and was 3-for-3 on penalty kicks.
In his first season playing for the Cardinals after transferring from Virginia Tech, Strong (Mendham, N.J.) scored five goals and added four assists in 21 starts. Highlighted by his two-goal performance against Duke on Sept. 13, Strong was an All-ACC First Team selection in 2014.
Making their eighth straight NCAA Championship appearance, the No. 13 Cardinals ended their season on Nov. 30 with a 1-0 loss to UMBC in a third round match at Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium. In its debut season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Louisville (11-8-3) advanced to the title match of the ACC Championship and earned a top 16 national seed in the NCAA Championship. The Cardinals defeated 19th-ranked Saint Louis in the second round marking the fourth time in five seasons they advanced to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament.
