McClain graduate Luis Rivas earns OAC All-Conference honors
This week, McClain graduate and Otterbein University junior Luis Rivas was selected as an honorable mention for the Ohio Athletic Conference All-Conference team.
In an OAC press release, it stated:
"Rivas (Greenfield/Edward Lee McClain) caught fire once the conference schedule began, scoring five times in a four-game stretch to quickly become one of the more dangerous players up top. He tallied two goals to ignite the team's furious comeback against nationally-ranked John Carroll University, and ultimately finished seventh in the league for most goals recorded (seven) and third when only counting goals netted within league play."
