Two Macomb County natives made the Michigan men’s soccer team’s all-decade team, which was announced on Sept. 24.

Alex Morisset, a graduate of De La Salle, made the squad as a midfield after recording one goal and four assists in 70 games for the Wolverines from 2005-08.

U-M coach Steve Burns had high praise for Morisset:

Alex Morisette

“Pound for pound, the toughest player we ever had in the midfield. Morisset covered huge amounts of space and always delivered crushing well-timed tackles. He is the standout player that epitomized the 'guts' of guts and glory."

In addition to Morisset, Justin Meram (Eisenhower) earned a spot as an alternate.

Meram, a forward, is the only current player on the all-decade squad. He has nine goals and eight assists in 24 games at U-M, and he garnered All-Big Ten Second Team recognition in 2009.
