KENOSHA, Wis. – Henry Bruer-Schmadalla and Alexandre Durand have been named to the 2021 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Scholar All-America Team, United Soccer Coaches announced Thursday.  The two athletes have been recognized for their accomplishments both on the field, and in the classroom.
Bruer-Schmadalla, a junior from Stuttgart, Germany, is studying Sports Management at Parkside and finished the season with a GPA of 3.43.  Bruer was named First-Team All-GLIAC, as well as the GLIAC Defensive Player of the Year.  He was also named to the United Soccer Coaches Midwest Region First Team, as well as the Conference Commissioner's Association All-Midwest Region Second Team.
Durand, a junior from Paris, France, is a Business and Marketing major at Parkside.  He finished the season with 3.54 GPA.  Durand was also named First Team All-GLIAC and United Soccer Coaches Midwest Region First Team.  Durand was named the 2021 GLIAC Goalkeeper of the Year and earned a GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week award during the season.

2021 PARKSIDE MEN'S SOCCER RECAP
The Parkside men's soccer team had one of the best seasons in program history.  Finishing with a record of 15-4-2, the Rangers recorded the most wins in a single season for the program since 2000.  The team clinched their second GLIAC regular season title in the last three years on Nov. 4, when they defeated Northern Michigan on the road.  The Rangers earned the top seed in the GLIAC tournament and hosted the semifinals and championship matches at Pritchard Park in Racine, Wis.  Parkside defeated Purdue Northwest 3-2 in the GLIAC semifinals to advance to the championship match, where they beat Davenport 3-2 in a tough battle to claim their second GLIAC Tournament title since 2019.  The Rangers led the GLIAC in goals, assists, points, assists per game, points per game, goal differential, scoring offense, shot accuracy, and winning percentage.
The Rangers earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and were selected to host the Fort Hays State Tigers in the second round of the tournament.  Unfortunately, their time in the tournament was short lived, as the Rangers fell to the Tigers 2-1.
The Rangers were led by a platoon of stars who stepped up in various ways throughout the season.  Rade Novakovich led both the team, and the entire NCAA Division II, in goals, points, goals per game, points per game, and game winning goals.  Right there at the top of the leaderboards with Novakovich, was senior Max Ludwig.  Ludwig was second in the GLIAC in points, and was third in the nation in assists.  Both athletes were named to All-American teams, and earned many more awards.  Durand dominated in goal all year, leading the GLIAC in goalie minutes played and shutouts.
