KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Two Kansas Wesleyan Men’s Soccer players have been named as NAIA All-Americans as selected by the Men’s Soccer All-American Selection Committee.

Forward Mario Rodriguez and defender Juan Mundo were selected as NAIA Honorable Mention All-Americans, meaning that the duo also received All-Region honors that has yet to be released from the NAIA Region IV office.

Rodriguez, a junior forward from Diamond Bar, Calif., is in his first season with the Coyotes. He led Wesleyan with 18 goals and was third in the KCAC in goals per game average at 0.90. He was also ranked No.17 in the NAIA in goals per game. Rodriguez is part of the Coyote offense that leads the NAIA in shots per game (25.19), ranked third in the nation in shots on goal (12.95) and eighth in goals per game at 3.290.

Mundo, a junior defender from Sun Valley, Calif., also is in his first season with the Coyotes. Mundo was the center back in the Coyote defense that allowed only 26 goals all season, and just six in KCAC play.

Kansas Wesleyan won its second KCAC Championship in the last three years, going 8-0-1 in conference play. The Coyotes then advanced to the NAIA Region IV Championship match before dropping a hard fought 2-1 decision to Park (Mo.) on November 8.
