CHARLOTTE, N.C.- The North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association has announced the 2008 NCCSIA North Carolina All-State College Division Men's Soccer Team and senior defender Chad Pinnick (Satellite Beach, Fla., Satellite ) has been named to the list.
Eleven student-athletes representing six institutions were selected to the sixth annual North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association (NCCSIA) College Division All-State soccer team.
The team consists of student-athletes from NCAA Division II and Division III colleges and universities throughout the state. North Carolina sports information professionals submitted nominees and NCCSIA members selected the teams. The All-State unit consists of one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards. All student-athletes involved with ties in the voting process were included on the All-State team.
Pinnick, who started every game this season, played an integral part in the 2008 season. He is a strong leader in the back, but was able to be an offensive weapon for Queens as well.
In addition to the NCCSIA honor, Pinnick was named All-Conference by Conference Carolinas at the conclusion of the season.
