FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton's Alex Heilmann continues to add to his growing list of honors as the senior was named to the All-Far West Region Third Team, the National Soccer Coaches Association of America announced on Tuesday.

Heilmann capped off his Titan career in style by leading the Big West in goals scored and points with 12 and 26 respectively. The La Habra, Calif., native is the first Fullerton player to earn a spot on the NSCAA All-Far West Team since 2014 when Titan midfielder Ian Ramos was also named to the third team.

In the offseason, Heilmann made the change from defender to forward due to position needs. He made the transition look effortless by scoring six goals in the first six games of the season.

The senior went on to finish the year with 12 goals and netted three game-winning goals on the road against UNLV, UTRGV and UC Riverside. The key to Heilmann's success inside the box was making shots count, as he put 20-of-35 shots on goal to finish the season with a shot on goal percentage of 57.1 percent, which was second-highest among top-10 goal scorers in the Big West.

The Titan forward's strong season offensively earned him a spot in the program record book, as he sits tied for eighth in most goals scored in a single season. Heilmann's senior year accolades include All-Big West First Team honors, Big West Offensive Athlete of the Week (twice) and College Soccer News National Player of the Week (10/24).

Also released today were the NSCAA Postseason Rankings and the Titans (10-9-4) concluded the season ranked No. 10 in the Far West region. Fullerton is one of two Big West teams ranked in the Far West region as CSUN (No. 7) was the only other team from the conference.
