Senior (2008):

In 2008, Carver became the first player in school history to become a two-time all-American, following his First Team berth after the 2007 season.  He also earned a spot on the all-South Region first team, and his second-straight UAA Player of the Year honor earlier in the season, becoming the first Emory men's soccer player to do so.  This season, the senior led the team with 13 goals and 33 points, and moved into second place in school history with 129 career points and 50 goals.  Carver finished the season with four game-winning goals, and a school-record 18 career game winners.  The co-captain also assisted on three game-winning goals during the season, and finishes his career with a program-best 11 game-winning assists.  Carver got off to a hot start to the campaign, scoring 11 points in the first two games of the season, including a hat-trick during the Eagles' season opener against Guilford College, the third of his career.  He finished the season ranked 67th in Division III in goals per game and 74th in points per game.

Junior (2007):

Carver recorded one of the most successful offensive campaigns in Emory history during the 2007 season, and became the fourth player in school history to be named to the All-America first team. In addition, he earned a nod to the all-South Region first team. The junior became just the sixth Emory player to be named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Player of the Year, scoring six goals and assisting on five others during conference games.  Carver finished the 2007 season with career highs in goals, assists and points, leading the team in goals and points, and finishing second on the squad in assists.  His 41 points were the eight-best single season mark in school history, his 16 goals are the 10th-best single season total, and his nine assists are the 16th-best single-season total.  The forward had seven game-winning goals during the year, matching the Emory single-season record, and his 14 career game-winning scores are a school record.  He added four game-winning assists, the second-best total on the team, including two against UAA opponents and one in the Eagles' overtime win over Greensboro College (N.C.).  He had four multiple-goal games in 2007, including a two-goal performance against UAA rival Carnegie Mellon University (Pa.).  Carver also scored the ‘golden goal' against the University of Chicago (Ill.) to give Emory a 3-2 double-overtime victory.  He   finished the 2007 season ranked eighth in school history in points (96), seventh in school history in goals (37) and ninth in school history in assists (22).      

Sophomore (2006):

Carver led the Eagles in all scoring categories in 2006, registering six goals and nine assists for 21 total points. He has led Emory in goals scored in each of his first two seasons, and both his 0.6 goals per game and 1.57 points per game over his career are fifth best in school history.  The sophomore received all-conference honors for the second-consecutive season in 2006, after being named to the University Athletic Association (UAA) second team.  Carver scored two game-winning goals during the season, one against the seventh-ranked College of New Jersey, and the other against Oglethorpe University (Ga.).  The forward recorded two five-point games (two goals and one assist) against Oglethorpe and Clayton State University (Ga.).  Carver had five game-winning assists in 2006, the second-most in school history.  He played in all 17 games for the Eagles during the season.

Freshman (2005):

Carver garnered the conference Rookie of the Year honor, along with an honorable mention to the all-conference team during the 2005 season.  The freshman set school records for goals scored (15) and points (34) by a freshman.  Carver led the team in goals, and finished second on the team in points.  The forward added four assists during the season, the fourth-highest total on the team.  Carver scored multiple goals in a game on three different occasions, including two hat tricks and a four-goal, one-assist performance against Huntingdon College (AL).  Five of Carver's goals were game winners, and he assisted on one game-winning goal as well.
