Green named Offensive Player of the Year for Fifth Time

Luis Green named 2022 SCAC Offensive Player of the year and SCAC First Team

SEGUIN, Texas -- Texas Lutheran Men's Soccer placed five players on the Southern Collegiate All-Conference teams, the league announced Wednesday.

A senior forward from Monterrey, Mexico, Luis Green closed out his career in style, rewriting the conference record books en route to claiming his league record fifth-straight SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Year honor. Green currently leads the SCAC in both goals (19) and points (44) and is second in game-winning goals (3), shots (77) and shots on goal (39). He capped off his historic career with a five-goal performance against Austin College in a win to bring his career total to an SCAC record 81 goals in just 78 games played. With that effort, he became just the fourth player in conference history, and the first since 2010, to score five or more goals in one contest. Green stands alone with his career marks, leaving Seguin first in SCAC history in goals scored (81), points (182), goals per game (1.04) and points per game (2.33). A nine-time SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week honoree during his TLU career, including three times this season, Green finishes his career tied for 10th all-time in NCAA history for career goals. In fact, his 81 goals are the most to cap off a career since Andrew Jenkins of St. Scholastica finished his career with 90 goals back in 2014.

Green received eight votes in the balloting for Offensive Player-of-the-Year honors while sophomore forward Taty Aleman of St. Thomas received the remaining first-place vote.

With this recognition, Green was also named First Team All-SCAC alongside fellow TLU captain, junior defender Jack Manke, who earns his second All-SCAC honor of his career in a season that saw him net a goal and tally two assists from the defender position.
