HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The honors continue to roll in for the Coker men's soccer team, as three players were named to the Daktronics First Team All-Southeast Region team on Tuesday. Junior forward Carlos Recinos (Houston, Texas), freshman defender Fernando Bedoya (Miami, Fla.) and junior goalkeeper James Sweeney (Huntingtown, Md.) each received First Team honors.
All three were also First Team All-Conference selections, including Recinos earning Conference Carolinas Player of the Year honors, as they led the Cobras to an 18-3 overall record and a 10-1 conference record.
