ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ junior soccer player Kellen Crow has been named to the 2014 College Division Scholar All-West Region First Team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Crow is the first Pioneer ever to be recognized with Scholar All-Region honors.

"Kellen is a well-rounded student-athlete and a great role model to his teammates," said head coach Andy Cumbo. "He's an excellent ambassador of our men's soccer team and ÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ as he promotes our commitment to excel on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Kellen has had an impressive past three years and is preparing for a tremendous year as a senior student-athlete next fall."

A native of Pleasanton, Calif., Crow maintains a 3.68 grade point average as a business administration major. He was one of just three student-athletes from the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) to be selected for the Scholar All-Region First Team.

On the field, Crow has played in 53 games in three seasons at East Bay. In 2014, he made a team-high 17 starts at the defender position and picked up a pair of assists. After the season, he was named Third Team All-West Region by the NSCAA, along with teammate Chris Lara.

In order to be eligible for Scholar All-Region recognition, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average throughout his or her career; start more than 50 percent of all games and be a significant contributor to the team; and be a junior or above in academic standing at the current institution.
