CHARLESTON, S.C.—Senior All-American
Septi Danciu (Bristita, Romania/Evergreen H.S.), Concordia's all-time leading scorer, was selected as one of 21 players to play in the first-ever Tourbeau Soccer Evolution Academy and Tour.
Danciu, along with 20 other of the NAIA's top men's soccer players, will travel the East Coast to play eight professional soccer games from March 6-17.
An initial list of players were invited in mid-December, and after talks with the initial list of selections, a final group was selected to represent the Academy in the Spring of 2014.
Seventeen of the 21 players on the roster are 2013 NAIA All-Americans, with the final four selections being former NAIA All-American selections or current first-team all-conference members.
"Our staff handpicked each player according to talent, experience, position and desire to play at the next level", Chase Neidig, president of Tourbeau Sports said.
Danciu, a two-time CCC Player of the Year, scored 16 goals and 13 assists in 2013 and finished his career with a school record 54 career goals.
"This team will far exceed everyone's expectations and we are fully committed to see each of these players land on a professional team for the 2014 season. There is no other group in the country doing what we are doing for this level of college soccer, and we trust this opportunity will help open the doors for more players in the future years."
