ELON, N.C. -- Elon senior goalkeeper Clint Irwin has been selected as a member of the 2010 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Men's College Scholar All-America Team at the University Division. It marks the second consecutive season in which Irwin has earned Scholar All-America accolades.
Irwin boasts a 3.49 GPA as a political science major and was the lone Southern Conference representative on the team comprised of 16 NCAA Division I players.
Irwin is one of the most storied goalkeepers in Elon history, finishing his tenure as the school shutout leader with 22 career clean slates. Although an injury sidelined him for a portion of his final season, Irwin became only the 11th player in league history to be an all-conference performer for four consecutive seasons after claiming first-team accolades in 2010. Irwin leaves Elon as the single-season (10) and career record-holder in shutouts and ranks third all-time in goals allowed average (0.89). The Charlotte, N.C. native was selected as one of the 10 finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award and was a second-team NSCAA All-South Region honoree this year. He holds a 3.49 GPA as a political science major.
