FLUSHING, N.Y. – On Tuesday, December 10, 2024, the Division II Conference Commissioner Association (D2 CCA) announced the 2024 All-American teams, and Queens College men's soccer junior forward Harry Cooke (Market Drayton, England) was named to the First Team.
 
For the third straight year head coach Frank Vertullo and his coaching staff have guided a Knight to All-American status
 
Last year men's soccer alum Adolfo Martinez Paquet earned D2 CCA All-American Second Team honors, the highest team honors in program history.
 
Just a season later Cooke who put together one of the best seasons in program history in 2024 would become the first student-athlete to earn First Team honors.
 
Among the All-American Three Teams, Cooke is one of six student-athletes to represent the East Region and one of two student-athletes to represent the East Coast Conference.
 
In two seasons in Flushing Cooke has earned All-ECC First Team honors (2024), Second Team honors (2023), D2 CCA All-East Region First Team honors (2024), and now concludes his junior year adding All-American honors to his list of accolades.
 
The England native who was one of three Knights to start all 18 games with a team-high 1,429 total minutes played would go on to rewrite the single-season program record by notching 23 goals, and seven assists for a total of 53 points.
 
He would also notch eight game-winning goals. In eight conference games, the junior recorded 14 goals and one assist with five game-winning goals.
 
In the nation, Cooke is ranked first in game-winning goals, second in total points, and tied for second in total goals.
