WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Senior forward Scott Sealy and junior defender Michael Parkhurst have been selected to the College Soccer News All-America team, the publication announced Thursday. Sealy was named to the first team while Parkhurst was a second team selection. It is the second All-America nomination for Sealy and Parkhurst as both were second team selections by NSCAA/adidas.

Sealy, a native of Petit Valley, Trinidad, closed his Wake Forest career as one of the most prolific scorers in Demon Deacon history. He finished second on the career chart for goals (43) and points (108). Sealy also finished in a tie for fourth place on the all-time assists chart with 22. He led Wake Forest in 2004 with 17 goals, 10 assists and 44 points. For his effort, he was named 2004 ACC Offensive Player of the Year and first team All-ACC. Sealy was named All-ACC second team in 2003. An All-American candidate, Sealy was named ACC Player of the Week and Soccer America Team of the Week on two occasions this season.

Parkhurst, a defender from Cranston, R.I., has now been named NSCAA All-South first team each of the past two years. He not only started all 21 matches this season, but was in the starting lineup for every match for the Demon Deacons the past three years -- a span of 62 consecutive starts at central defender. In those three seasons, Parkhurst helped the Deacs to a pair of ACC regular season titles, twice earned the top seed in the NCAA Tournament and an overall record of 44-12-6. He was named 2004 ACC Defensive Player of the Year and first team All-ACC for the second consecutive year. Parkhurst was also named NSCAA / adidas All-America second team in 2003.

Sealy was the only player from the ACC included on the first team and the Demon Deacons were the only conference school to be represented on both first and second team.
