NCSA Student-Athlete Scores Historic Soccer Goal

September 9th, 2008 - by Lisa Strasman

NCSA student-athlete and Emory University freshman, Ben Schlang, made headlines last weekend by scoring the 20th “golden goal” in school history. A “golden goal” is one that is scored during sudden death overtime. Ben’s goal was the first “golden goal” scored by an Emory freshman since 2000.

Ben hails from Cooper City, Florida and applied early to Emory last fall. Ben chose Emory primarily because of its excellent academic reputation and after visiting other Division I and Division III campuses he felt that everything about the school was the right fit.
