July 8th, 2008
The Finlandia University men’s soccer team has received a commitment from Timothy Carron of Saint Clair Shores, Mich., to attend and play for the Lions starting this fall semester, Head Soccer Coach Matt Griffith announced today.
Carron, 5′6″, graduated from Saint Clair Shores Lakeview High School in 2008 where he was a defenseman and mid-fielder for the soccer team. Carron was named to the All-Academic Team all four seasons of his high school soccer career. During his junior and senior years, he was an All-State Honorable Mention, a member of the All-Regional Team, and a member of the All-County (Macomb County) Team. In his sophomore and senior seasons, Carron was named to the All-District Team and the All-Conference (Macomb Area Conference) Team.
“Tim will be a great addition to the men’s soccer program at Finlandia,” said Coach Griffith. “His resilience, dedication, and understanding of the game will help him lead the way for incoming freshman in 2008. He has an innate ability to read the field, and has the ball control to advance in one-on-one situations. I look for Tim to make an immediate impact on the soccer program here at Finlandia.”
