CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - UVa midfielders Ryan Trout (Media, Pa./Strath Haven), Kyle Martino (Westport, Conn./Staples) and Steve Totten (Allentown, N.J./Peddie) were named to the 1999 Division I National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/adidas All-South Atlantic Region Team. Trout gathered first team honors to highlight the trio Cavalier nominees. Martino was a second team selection and Totten was tabbed a third team member.

Trout, a third-year midfielder for Virginia, started 20 of the 21 games he has appeared in this season. He gathered 1338 minutes of playing time during the regular season and 1819 minutes through the NCAA Tournament. Trout was Virginia's leading scorer with 28 points resulting from 10 assists and nine goals. His 10 assists and nine goals were both team highs. Trout had an outstanding ACC Tournament as he scored three goals through three games. He recorded Virginia's game-winning goal in a 2-0 victory over Maryland in the ACC quarterfinals (11/11/99) and scored two goals (including the game-winner) in a 2-1 win over Wake Forest in the ACC semifinal game on 11/12/99. Earlier this season, Trout was tabbed a Second-Team Preseason All-American by Soccer America. He was named Second Team All-ACC and was selected to the ACC All-Tournament team. On of Trout's biggest games this season occurred when he scored four goals (including three in the first half of play) in UVa's 8-1 victory over Appalachian State on 9/8/99. He became only the eighth player ever in Virginia men's soccer history to score four goals in a single game and was the 44th player in UVa men's soccer history to record a hat trick.

For his career, Trout has recorded 68 career points from 32 career assists and 18 career goals, including seven career game-winning assists and seven career game-winning goals. He was also selected to the '99 Coca-Cola Classic All-Tournament team earlier this season.

Martino, a first-year midfielder at UVa, made a significant impact on the team in just his first season of collegiate competition. His contributions to the team were so significant that he was named the 1999 Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year. Martino was also chosen to the ACC All-Tournament team after the Cavaliers finished runner-up in the ACC Tournament. He played his way into a starting role right from the start of the season and gathered 1971 minutes of action during the year.

Martino started all 23 of the games he appeared in this season for Virginia and finished second on the team with seven assists and was fourth on the squad with seven goals. Three of Martino's seven goals were game-winning markers scored in the Cavaliers 2-1 victory over North Carolina (9/25/99), a 3-0 decision over Marshall (10/20/99) and a 3-1 win over Brown (11/28/99) in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Two of his seven assists were game-winners which he recorded in Virginia's 2-1 victory over Cal State Fullerton (10/29/99) and UVa's 1-0 win over Ohio State (11/5/99). Martino ended the season as the Cavaliers third leading scorer with 21 points resulting from seven assists and seven goals. He scored his first collegiate goal in 2-1 win over Virginia Tech on 9/22/99 and tallied his first collegiate assist in Virginia's 1-1 tie with then unbeaten Wake Forest on 9/19/99.

Totten, a second-year midfielder, entered the '99 season as one of the Cavaliers top returning players. A Second Team All-ACC selection this year, he started all 24 games for UVa and gathered 2226 minutes of playing time during the season. Totten finished fifth on the team in scoring with 17 points coming from six goals and five assists. His six goals scores ranks fifth on the team and his five assists ranks third on the squad. Totten scored Virginia's game-winning goal in the Coca-Cola Classic Tournament against Seton Hall in a 4-3 overtime victory in the season opener and posted a game-winning assist and scored a goal in UVa's 2-0 win over Virginia Commonwealth on 10/9/99. He also gathered two goals and an assist in Virginia's 8-1 victory over Appalachian State (9/8/99).

Totten was selected to Soccer America's Team of the Week on 10/11/99. He was also named to the 1998-99 ACC Academic Honor Roll. Totten has scored 36 career points on 12 goals and 12 assists at UVa. He has started all 47 games of his career and has four career game-winning assists and one career game-winning goal.
