NEWARK, Del. - - The 2015 Division II Conference Commissioner's Association Men's Soccer All-America Teams were announced this week and three Wildcats were honored in the post season accolade, as voted on by the NCAA Division II sports information directors.

It is the second All-American award for midfielder Clifford Nwechefom, as he earned First Team Division II CCA honors. He was also named Second Team NSCAA All-American earlier this week. Nwechefom is joined by senior forward Lance Berry (Second Team) and senior defender Adrian Tash (Honorable Mention) as Division II CCA All-Americans.

The trio led the Wildcats to a 15-6 overall record while earning the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Regular Season Championship with a 10-2 mark. The Wildcats earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament Championship, winning the first round matchup against the third seeded Adelphi.

Nwechefom (Port Harcourt, Nigeria) was named the CACC Player of the Year, First Team All-CACC, and First Team NSCAA and CCA All-East Region after leading the conference with 18 goals this season. He also added four assists and was leading the CACC in points until Berry's late season charge. Nwechefom finished with 40 points on the year. His 18 goals rank second all-time for a single season in program history.

The midfielder scored a season's high three goals against Goldey-Beacom on October 20. Nwechefom scored multiple goals four goals this season, finding the back of the net in 13 games this season.

Berry (Bear, Del.) turned it on late in the season, finishing atop the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference leaderboard with 14 assists, setting a Wilmington single season program record. He was also third in the CACC with 15 goals, finishing atop the conference with 44 points. He was voted First Team All-CACC, First Team CCA All-East Region, and Second Team NSCAA All-East Region.

The senior forward scored two goals in three of the last five games of the season, starting with two goals and two assists at Georgian Court. He followed that up with two more goals against Goldey-Beacom in the CACC Tournament Quarterfinal before finishing his scoring with two goals and two assists in the NCAA Division II East Regional Tournament First Round game against Adelphi.

Tash (Toronto, Ontario) was named the CACC Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All-CACC, First Team CCA All-East Region, and Second Team All-NSCAA East Regiona, starting in 19 games as an outside back. The athletic and speedy back routinely got mixed into the offensive side of the ball, getting into the backfield with speed on the outside. He finished with four assists on the year while also continuing to mark the opposing team's top forwards.

The senior defender assisted on goals in his first two games of the game before adding assists against Caldwell on Homecoming and at Georgian Court in the regular season finale.

The trio brings the program's number of All-Americans to nine total during the NCAA era. The Wildcats garnered five All-Americans during the 2009 season and one All-American in 2013.

Pfeiffer's Nathan Regis headlined the Division II CCA All-America Teams, being named the Ron Lenz National Player of the Year in leading the team to the NCAA Division II National Championship.
