BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – Eastern Florida men’s soccer player Micah Smoak on Thursday received his second All-America selection of 2015.

Smoak earlier was named an NJCAA Division I first-team All-American along with teammate, classmate and fellow defender Wilfred Williams.

Williams, of Johnson City, Tennessee and the University of Memphis, was an NSCAA second-team honoree.

Smoak and Williams anchored a backline that allowed 21 goals in 19 games. Smoak also was a force in the midfield and scored seven goals and recorded seven assists.

Williams scored a goal and recorded an assist but his main contributions were moving to the vital center back position when teammates were injured and marking opponent’s top strikers.

Both played in all 19 games as the Titans advanced to the NJCAA Division I Men’s Championship semifinal round for the first time, finishing 15-2-2.
