DAUTI, OFSTAD RECEIVE NSCAA ALL-REGION HONORS

12-6-06
CALDWELL, N.J. - Senior forward Uke Dauti (West Orange, NJ/West Orange) and sophomore defender Asgeir Ofstad (Trondheim, Norway) were named to the 2006 NSCAA/adidas all-New England Region second team, the association announced. The all-Region teams were chosen by the head coaches in the New England Region, which includes teams in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference and the Northeast 10 Conference. This is the second all-region honor for Dauti and Ofstad this year, as both were selected to the Daktronics all-New England team last month.

Dauti led the team in scoring for the second straight year, tallying 12 goals and four assists for 28 points in 19 games. A two-time all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference first team selection and a NSCAA all-New England Region second team choice in 2005, Dauti tallied three multi-goal games and two game-winning goals this season. He also scored the game-tying goal in the Cougars' CACC Tournament quarterfinal victory over Holy Family University on Oct. 24. For his career, Dauti totaled 31 goals and seven assists for 69 points in 53 games at Caldwell.

Ofstad is the leader of a backline that has allowed just 17 goals in 19 games this season. A 2006 first team all-CACC selection and last year's CACC Newcomer of the Year, Ofstad scored his first collegiate goal this year and totaled two goals and two assists. He assisted on the game-winning goal by junior midfielder Nicholas Harriott (St. Catherine, Jamaica/Campion) in the quarterfinal win over Holy Family.

The Cougars finished the 2006 season with a record of 12-6-1, marking the third year in a row that the team won at least 12 games.
