BALTIMORE - Loyola University Maryland men's soccer junior Brian Saramago has continued to add to his list of awards and achievements, as he checked in at No. 48 on TopDrawerSoccer's Top-100 Upperclassmen rankings.
 
Since headlining Loyola's first-ever nationally ranked recruiting class in 2016, Saramago – a forward from New Hyde Park, New York – has led Loyola in goals and points the last three seasons. He recently became the 14th player in the program's NCAA Division I era (since 1979) to score 25 collegiate goals, and he will enter his senior season ranked tied for 13th on the program's NCAA Division I records for career goals (26), tied for 14th in career assists (14) and 16th in career points (66).
 
A three-time regional All-American, Saramago also earned his first All-America honor this season, being honored as one of the top 33 players in college soccer by the United Soccer Coaches Association. The third-team All-American also became the 12th player in Patriot League history to pick up three-straight first-team all-conference accolades.
 
Loyola's first All-American as a forward since Joe Koziol in 1988, Saramago started this season as a MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List honoree. He helped Loyola to a second-straight Patriot League Regular Season Championship and guided the Greyhounds in to the national rankings, as they checked in at 23rd through the final regular season poll.
 
Saramago finished this season with 24 points on eight goals and eight assists, with his eight assists leading the Patriot League and tying for 11th in the NCAA through the regular season.
 
Over the course of his career, he's helped Loyola to a 31-17-5 overall record and a 20-4-3 mark in Patriot League play, the best three-year record of any League team in that time.
