D3soccer.com All-America Teams | NSCAA All-America Teams

Christopher Newport senior forward Jalon Brown became the first player in program history to earn first team All-American honors twice in his career. The Captains leading scorer was named to the D3soccer.com All-America First Team on Wednesday afternoon, capturing his second straight honor from the national web service. 

Brown also earned second team All-American honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) this season, capping his career with a program-best five nods between the two selection committees. He is one of only two players to earn All-American laurels three times in his career. All four years of his tenure, Brown earned first team All-Conference and first team All-State honors. 

A forward from Yorktown, Va., Brown finished with a number of program-best marks after an illustrious career at the top of a dominant offense. He is the Captains' all-time leader in goals scored and total points, finishing with 52 goals and 134 points. The three-time Conference Player of the Year saved his finest season for last, scoring 47 points on 20 goals and seven assists. The 47-point effort is the second most in a single season at CNU, along with the 20 goals scored. 

He picked up his second straight CAC Player of the Year honors after leading the league in total points and goals scored. He ranked ninth nationally in goals scored and tenth in total points, while leading a record-breaking team offense that ranked third nationally in both categories. 

During the year, Brown posted a pair of hat tricks and five game-winning goals. He also helped guide the Captains to the second most wins in program history, and one of the finest overall marks at 19-3-5 for a 79.6% winning percentage. He helped the team score three road victories in the CAC Championship Tournament, capturing the first league title for the men's soccer team in the CAC, and led the Captains to their fourth NCAA Tournament National Quarterfinal appearance.
