Cleveland, Ohio- Following a season that saw a Horizon League Championship and the first trip to the NCAA tournament for the program since 1980, the Cleveland State Vikings had four players selected this week on the 2012 NSCAA Division I Men's All-Great Lakes Region teams.

Junior forward Admir Suljevic led the way for CSU with a Second Team selection, with senior goalie Brad Stuver, and junior defenders Zach Ellis-Hayden and Cam Eisses being Third Team selections.

Suljevic shined all season long for the Vikings, leading the team in goals (5) and points (14), and tying with Aslinn Rodas for the team lead in assists (4). Those numbers put him fifth in the Horizon League in both goals and points on his own, while also being tied for sixth in the league in assists. The junior was clutch all season long for the Vikings, making big plays all season including scoring two game winning goals.

Senior goalie Brad Stuver also was a standout performer all year long for the Vikings as a Third Team selection. Stuver, the 2010 Horizon League Goalie of the Year, was a Second Team All-League selection in 2012, and led the league in shutouts with nine, also finishing second in the league in saves (81) and goals against average (0.86). Stuver's nine shutouts were four more than anyone else in the league.

Two Cleveland State defenders, Cam Eisses and Zach Ellis-Hayden were also Third Team selections representing the Vikings. Eisses appeared in 17 games with 13 starts for CSU. Ellis-Hayden was also a constant presence for the Vikings on the defensive end of the field, with 20 games played and 16 starts. Eisses was a First Team All- Horizon League selection and the league's Defensive Players of the Year, with Ellis-Hayden being named a Second Team All-Horizon League selection. The two defenders joined Stuver to help produce one of the top defenses in the Horizon League in 2012.
