From a press release:
Kyle Webb, a midfielder on Apple Valley’s 2009 state championship team, was named to the National Campus Championship Series All Tournament soccer team at the NCCS national championship soccer tournament for collegiate club teams held in Phoenix, AZ, Nov. 17-19.
Webb plays outside midfield for the University of Minnesota Gophers mens soccer club. The Gophers earned a quarterfinal slot in the championship bracket by beating Florida in an exciting shootout. They advanced to the Final Four on Friday night when they beat Cal Berkley 2-1 on a late second half goal by Webb. The Gophers were denied the national championship game on Saturday morning when they lost their semifinal match to Missouri, 1-0. The Final Four showing was the Gophers’ best performance in
the tournament since 2003. Webb’s former Apple Valley teammate Bijan Jabari is also a member of the Minnesota team. The Gophers are coached by the South Metro’s coaching luminary Alan Merrick.
