Carson, CA -- Cal State Dominguez Hills senior and co-captain Jesse Graham (San Diego, CA/Pt. Loma HS) was named to the 2006 National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas Men’s Soccer All-America 2nd-team, it was announced by the NSCAA. This is the first All-America honor of Graham's stellar four-year career in Cardinal and Gold.

Graham, the Toros’ only four-year letter-winner, garnered the nod after earning a 1st-team All-Region selection in both the NSCAA and NCAA Daktronics all-region polls last month.

The San Diego native, who was selected to the All-CCAA’s 1st-team for his third-career conference honor at the CCAA Championship tournament banquet last October, also claimed his first CCAA Player of the Week award in the regular season’s final weekend to help CSUDH secure the 4th and final spot in the conference tournament. Graham also moved into 4th on the CSUDH all-time assist list, 9th on the all-time points list, and 10th on the all-time goals list as he led the Toros with 8 goals, 6 assists and 22 points.

Cal State Dominguez Hills, which claimed its 7th CCAA Championship on October 29 with a 2-1 win over cross-town rival Cal State L.A., had one of two 2nd-team nods for the conference, with Sonoma State defender Brett Cook garnering the other. SSU's Andrew Bailey and CSULA's Morten Marthinsen both claimed 3rd-team awards, giving the CCAA four players selected to NSCAA All-America squads.
