POMONA, Calif. – Alex Mejia, who led Seattle Pacific into the NCAA Division II men's soccer playoffs with a league-leading 14 goals, received his second All-America recognition in a week when the NCAA Division II Collegiate Conference Commissioners Association (D2CAA) team was announced.
 
Mejia was honored as a third-team All-American by the D2CAA after receiving first-team recognition by the United Soccer Coaches Association on Wednesday. He is the first Falcon to earn All-America honors from the Conference Commissioners Association since goalkeeper Cody Lang was a third-team selection in 2015.
 
The awards continue to roll in for Mejia after a brilliant 2021 campaign. On Nov. 16, he was recognized as the 2021 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Year.
 
"Alex has been fantastic all year," said SPU coach Kevin Sakuda. "He consistently scores goals and has done it in a variety of ways. He's led our group this whole season."
 
ALEX MEJIA GOLDEN GOAL (Sept. 22)

A senior forward, Mejia produced a 14-goal output that is three more than any other GNAC player accumulated. That is the highest single-scoring total by a Falcon in 10 years, since Tyler Schultz tallied 16 goals in 2011.
 
Three of Mejia's goals were game-winners and he added two assists for a 30-point total that also topped the GNAC.
 
Mejia is a product of Seattle's Roosevelt High School. He completed his collegiate career with 24 goals, nine assists and 57 total points. Six of his goals were game-winning strikes.
 
The D2CCA All-America teams are selected by the sports information directors from the schools throughout the country. The D2CCA is a function of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.
 
Seattle Pacific concluded the 2021 men's soccer season on Nov. 18 with a 1-0 loss to Colorado State Pueblo in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. That marked the program's first postseason appearance in five seasons.
 
The Falcons registered a 12-4-2 record, their most wins since 2015. They captured the GNAC championship with a 6-2-2 conference record.
