KANSAS CITY, MO – Sophomore defender Kyle LeClerc (Beacon, NY/Beacon) of The Sage Colleges' men's soccer team was named to the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Men's East Region Third-Team for his play with the Gators this season.

Already honored as the 2014 Skyline Conference Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Year and a Skyline All-Star First-Team honoree, LeClerc has joined a growing list of players honored for their play for the young  Sage men's soccer program.  He anchored a Sage defense that has allowed a league-low 17 goals this fall in the regular-season, including just six in league play.
