KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Carson-Newman senior defender Sindre Welo (Trondheim, Norway) was named to his second All-American team of the season on Wednesday as the Norwegian was named to the District II Conference Commissioners Association third team.
Welo is the third Eagle to be named to multiple All-American teams in a season; he follows in the footsteps of former teammate Ross Frame in 2013 and Thomas Ostvald in 2008. Last Thursday, he was named a second team All-American defender by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
The Norwegian ended his career as the most-capped player in Carson-Newman history by appearing 77 games during his four years at Mossy Creek. During his senior campaign, the Norwegian tallied nine goals, which led the team, and an assist and was named a first team All-South Atlantic Conference center back. As a defender, he ranked third on the team with 27 shots. Welo tallied his fourth multi-goal game of his career against Catawba on Oct. 10th and his penalty kick against Coker on Oct. 31stclinched Carson-Newman a share of the South Atlantic Conference regular season title.
He finished his career with 28 career goals, which was sixth-most in program history, and seven game-winning goals. Welo placed seventh in school history with his 71 career points and is tied with four other Eagles, including senior Lucas Siqueira (Sao Paulo, Brazil), for the school record with three made penalty kicks. The senior was also a member of the 2013 team that made a run to the program's first-ever NCAA Championship game. He is a three-time member of All-SAC teams and been bestowed All-Region honors four times.
Earlier this season, Welo was named to the SAC's first team as a defender; he was also a first team All-Southeast region selection by both the D2CCA and NSCAA.
Welo is the only SAC player to be named an All-American by the D2CCA.
