Albertus Magnus men's soccer senior Stephen Zapata (Hamden, Conn.) has been named a 2012 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III New England Men's Soccer All-Star as announced Thursday by the ECAC.

Zapata, who was recently named an NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Second Team All-American and an NCAA DIII All-New England First Team member, earns the ECAC accolade for the second-straight year.

Zapata finished the 2012 campaign leading the Falcons with 38 points on 13 goals and 12 assists. He registered a team-high 92 shots, including 43 on goal, while he tallied six game-winning goals. He also was 4-for-4 in penalty kicks.

The Falcons won their second Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championship title on Nov. 3 with a 6-5 shootout victory over Norwich University. With the win, Albertus earned its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in program history.

Zapata, who led the nation in assists per game in 2011, finished his career at Albertus with 114 points on 31 goals and 52 assists in 80 games played.
