VMI's Sossou tabbed second team All-State

VMI defender Ayao Sossou was named to the 2009 Virginia Association of Sports Information Directors Men’s Soccer Second Team, as announced by the organization recently.

Sossou was a fixture on the VMI back line during his sophomore season, as he started 16 of VMI’s 17 games, missing just one contest during the year. He also notched an assist on the Keydets’ first goal of the season, a marker tallied against NJIT, and was a main player in offensive attacks thanks to his speed on the wings.

The native of Lome, Togo attempted 10 shots on the year, and helped the Keydets post a 106:09 shutout streak at the midpoint of season, highlighted by a 2-0 blanking of Gardner-Webb.
