ROLLA, Mo. – Missouri S&T senior Spencer Brinkmeyer (Kansas City, Mo./Oak Park) was selected Friday to the Great Lakes Valley Conference's all-league for the third season in succession and was also among four members of the Miners named to the Capital One Academic All-District Four team for the recently completed 2012 season.

Brinkmeyer was named to the All-GLVC second team as a back, a position in which he was named to the first team as both a sophomore and junior.  He finished the year with three goals and an assist for seven points and anchored a solid defensive unit from his sweeper position, a group that included seniors Adam Stensland (Edwardsville, Ill./Edwardsville) and Caleb Collier (Springfield, Mo./Kickapoo) who were also named to the academic all-district team.

Brinkmeyer, a civil engineering major at S&T, scored his goals this season against Truman State, Kentucky Wesleyan and Rockhurst and finished his Miner career with 11 goals and five assists.

Stensland, a nuclear engineering major, scored his only goal of the season early in the second half to break a scoreless tie in the Miners' Sept. 30 victory over Maryville and he also added two assists, while Collier, a mechanical engineering major, assisted on two goals as well.  The Miner defensive unit held its opponents to just 13 goals in 16 games this season as S&T posted nine shutouts.

The fourth academic all-district selection was midfielder Timmy Kenny (Wildwood, Mo./Lafayette), a biological sciences major who scored in the games against Wisconsin-Parkside, Lewis, Illinois Springfield and McKendree.  In the McKendree contest, Kenny scored with just over five minutes remaining in regulation time to give the Miners a 1-0 victory.  He shared the team lead in goals of four with Peter Vaccaro (Ballwin, Mo./Parkway West ) and added three assists for a team-high 11 points.

All four players named to the academic all-district team will be eligible for the Capital One Academic All-America team that will be announced Nov. 28.

Missouri S&T finished the 2012 season with an overall record of 8-6-2 and was 7-6-1 in GLVC play.
