Cumberland defender Yue Wang and midfielder Kempess Villafana were both named First Team All-TranSouth Conference for men’s soccer, as announced by the conference office as the TSAC Championships begin Tuesday at campus sites.
Wang, a junior from Tianjin, China, scored one goal for the season, versus Union College. He was a key part of a defense that allowed just 19 goals all season, a 1.36 goals-against-average. The Bulldogs allowed just seven goals over the final seven matches of the year, but lost five of the seven tilts and a chance at making the TSAC Championships.
