Hudson, Lee named All-Region

PERKINSTON — MACCC/Region 23 champion Mississippi Gulf Coast put two players on the All-NJCAA Region 23 Men's Soccer team. Chad Hudson and Hyungjoon Lee were named to the 11-person squad.

The duo helped lead Gulf Coast to its first MACCC championship in a decade and its first-ever appearance at the national tournament.

Hudson, a sophomore defender from Gulfport, helped Gulf Coast register the fifth-lowest goals-against average in the conference during the regular season and was potent on the other end of the field, as well. He scored four times, including both the Bulldogs' goals at the NJCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship, and had two assists. One of those assists came in the MACCC/Region 23 Semifinal, the opening goal in a 2-0 win over Itawamba.

Lee, a freshman midfielder from Suwon, South Korea, led the MACCC with 11 goals and added five more assists. Gulf Coast had the fourth-ranked offense in the league. He had an assist in the Bulldogs' 3-2 loss against Parkland in the national tournament. Lee had a goal and three assists in a 6-0 win at Southwest. 

Gulf Coast tied for second with two selections on the All-Region team.
