Two of the stars of Pima College's national champion men's soccer team are now All Americans.
Sam Lossou and Brian Vu were both named first-team NJCAA Division II All-Americans on Tuesday, more than a week after the Aztecs captured their second NJCAA Division II national title with a shootout win over CCBC Essex in Wichita, Kansas.
Lossou, a defender, is the first Pima men’s soccer player to be a two-time NJCAA All-American since Minh Vu in 2009 and 2010. Lossou was named ACCAC Player of the Year while earning first team All-ACCAC and first team All-Region I, Division II honors. He played and started in all 21 games scoring four goals on the season.
Lossou will continue his soccer career at Alabama-Birmingham.
Vu, a midfielder, finished second on the team with 11 goals. He was named first team All-ACCAC and first team All-Region I, Division II.
