The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has announced the 2010 NAIA Men's Soccer All-America Teams, as selected by the NAIA Men's Soccer All- America Selection Committee. There are three teams in addition to an honorable mention list.

The University of Great Falls was represented by junior forward Ryan O’Neil who was named Honorable Mention All-American today. The Arima, Trinidad native becomes the first men’s soccer player in school history to receive the award. O’Neil capped a great season by leading his team to the second round of the National Tournament for the first time. He finished with a team-high 18 goals on the season.

“Ryan is definitely deserving of this award,” said head coach Paul Zazenski. “He has been a leader all year for our team and scored many goal-winning goals for us. We will look for him to keep making a major impact during his senior season.”

O’Neil was also named to the Unaffiliated Conference First-Team and was crowned Conference Player of the Year. The Unaffiliated Conference consists of nine teams from the Dakota, Frontier, and Midlands athletic conferences.
