KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Dec. 3, 2014) - After leading the LIU Post men's soccer team to the program's first-ever NCAA Division II East Region Championship, senior forward Eivind Austboe (Stavanger, Norway) and junior midfielder Per Forgaard (Stavanger, Norway) were named to the 2014 Daktronics Division II All-America second- and third-team rosters, respectively.

Last month, Austboe was lauded as the Daktronics Division II East Region Player of the Year. A 2013 All-America first-team selection, he was also dubbed the East Coast Conference Offensive Player of the Year and Capital One Academic All-American of the Year for the second time in as many seasons. In his senior campaign, Austboe collected the ninth-most goals (17) in Division II, along with the 11th-most points (38).
 
The LIU Post standout enjoyed a storied career. A year ago, Austboe was tabbed as an NSCAA All-America first-team honoree, the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year, and the Daktronics Ron Lenz National Player of the Year. He ranked third in the nation in goals, goals per game and points per game, and fourth in total points, finishing with 24 goals and 10 assists (58 points). The Pioneers rounded out the 2013 season at 18-2-2 overall, losing in the third round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Forgaard, an All-America choice for the second time in his career, was second on the team in scoring, putting away eight goals and dishing out nine assists for a 25-point output. The junior was selected to the Daktronics All-East Region first-team, as well as the All-ECC first-team for his efforts.
