Fayetteville, N.C. - The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2014 All-Conference awards for men's soccer, with a total of 38 student-athletes earning recognition. North Carolina Wesleyan had four players garner accolades, led by senior Samba Cande's First Team honor in the midfield.

Cande picks up the second All-Conference nod of his career, having garnered Second Team honors last season. He ranked second on the team in scoring this season with seven goals and four assists for 18 total points, which placed him in the top-10 in the league statistically. Among Cande's seven goals were a trio of gamewinners.

He was joined on the All-Conference team by Second Teamers Charles Chapin at forward and Drew Wiltse in the midfield. Chapin led the Bishops in scoring with a conference-best 12 goals to his credit, while Wiltse anchored Wesleyan's success as team captain and All-Sportsmanship representative.

Rounding out the Bishops' honorees was sophomore Mario Andrade as an Honorable Mention on defense.

Elsewhere around the league, Covenant's Snoopy Davidson was named the Player of the Year, Methodist's Alex Rabone collected Rookie of the Year honors and Greensboro's John Trice earned Coach of the Year accolades.
