Three Westmont Warriors have been named to the 2004 All-Golden State Athletic Conference Men’s Soccer team. Junior midfielder Luke Williams, sophomore midfielder Michael Thompson and sophomore forward Blake Thompson where selected for the honor.

Williams of Boerne, Texas scored five goals for Westmont and recorded six assists during the 2004 season. “Luke has emerged as one of the outstanding players in the conference,” said Warrior Head Coach Dave Wolf. “Luke had a number of outstanding performances in which he was the match winner including our games against Holy Names, Notre Dame de Namur and Concordia. Because of his speed, he is able to get in clean to the goal. Next year we be looking for him to be a factor in more of our games and to make the most of opportunities.” This is the second year in which Williams was select to the All-GSAC team.

“Michael is a very gifted player in whom we have seen very good progress in the maturation process,” noted Wolf. “He has gotten to a place of stability emotionally and that has helped his game. I anticipate that he is going to get better and better.” Thompson, who is from Newbury Park, California, recorded four goals, including three game winners, on the year. His game winning goals came against Holy Names, Pacific Lutheran and Concordia (OR).

Blake Thompson of Simi Valley, California was the Warrior’s top scorer with ten goals and two assists. Thompson scored twice in back-to-back games against Hope International and Point Loma Nazarene. “Blake is an instinctual, attacking player who takes a lot of risks. He has grown in his tactical ability, deciding when and where to take those risks. He has a hunger to score and gets high marks for bravery,” said Wolf.
