Souahy capped a stellar BGSU career by earning a veritable plethora of honors in 2017. He was named to the All-Ohio Team by the Ohio Collegiate Soccer Association (OSCA), and also was named to the All-Mid-American Conference Second Team and the United Soccer Coaches All-Great Lakes Region Third Team. Additionally, he was named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week on Sept. 5.
Souahy, a native of Saint Etienne au Mont, France (Saint Joseph), played every minute of every match in 2017, and finished fourth on the team in scoring, with eight points. The center back tied for third on the team with three goals, and also had a pair of assists. He helped the Falcons to seven shutouts, including a school record-tying five in a row.
A 2017 team captain, Souahy had an assist on the game-winning goal in the season opener vs. IUPUI, and scored the final goal of BGSU's 3-0 win at Drexel. Two nights later, he again scored the final goal as BG won at Penn.
The senior had an assist on the tying goal at nationally-ranked Akron, as BG scored while playing two men down with under two minutes remaining in regulation. Then, he scored what proved to be the match-winning goal in the final home contest of his BGSU career, a win over Northern Illinois on Senior Night.
Souahy had 17 points on six goals and five assists in his BG career, and helped the Falcons' defense record 18 shutouts in that time. He started all 55 of BG's matches during his three-year career, playing over 5,000 career minutes, and was on the field for all but 29 seconds during those three seasons.
Souahy has excelled in the classroom as well as on the field, and was named to the Academic All-MAC Team last month.
Louisville City FC is a member of the United Soccer League, now sanctioned Division 2 by U.S. Soccer, only one level below Major League Soccer. The USL includes 32 teams across the country, some of them independent and others acting as close affiliates with MLS clubs.
LouCity advanced to the USL's Eastern Conference final every season since starting play in 2015. In its second year, the club was the last remaining independent side -- one that doesn't have an MLS affiliation -- in the playoffs. LouCity reached the pinnacle of the league in 2017, winning both the Eastern Conference regular-season title and the USL Cup Final for the first time. Since entering the USL, the "Boys in Purple" have earned 170 points in league play, the most of any team in the past three seasons.
The team kicks off the 2018 season on Saturday, March 17, hosting Nashville SC.
