BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University men's soccer goalkeeper
Hagay Jalon was recognized to the College Sports Information Directors of America All-District IV First Team, as the organization announced Thursday. This marks the redshirt senior's second consecutive honor.
Â
The All-District teams distinguish the nation's top student-athletes based on their performance on the field, but more importantly, in the classroom. As a member of the first-team, Jalon advances to the All-America ballot, with honorees being announced in early December.
Â
Jalon graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology, while holding a 3.80 GPA. The captain has held one of the top GPAs on the team during his three years with the Owls and has accumulated a number of academic awards from Conference USA, including All-Academic Team, Commissioner's Academic medal and Honor Roll. Jalon is currently enrolled in the Master of Psychology program with the desire of becoming a sports psychologist.
Â
The Haifa, Israel native has posted a 1.43 Goals Against Average along with 31 saves during the season. Jalon has also recorded two C-USA Defensive Player of the Week awards after shutouts against No. 15 Marshall and No. 17 James Madison. Currently, Jalon sits in fifth in school history in career blank sheets.
Â
Jalon and the Owls have a big C-USA match tonight at 7 p.m. against Old Dominion at FAU Soccer Stadium. The seniors will be recognized prior to the match in honor of Senior Night.
