Men's Soccer AMCC All-Conference Team Announced
The Behrend Lions had another strong season under the direction of twelfth year head coach Dan Perritano. The team went 12-5-1 in the regular season. The defending AMCC Champions then faced Frostburg State in the conference playoffs, losing a hard-fought game 3-1, to finish the year with a 12-6-1 record.
Throughout the course of the season the team utilized a balanced attack on offense while putting together an often times impenetrable back line. The defense was led by first-team All-AMCC performer Dan Bash (Pittsburgh/Thomas Jefferson). Bash, a junior, has been named to the all-conference team in each of his first three seasons, and helped the team post shut-outs in 10 of 19 games. Fellow first-team performers were sophomore Herbert Obeng (Columbus, OH/Sayreville) and junior Justin Reese (Pittsburgh/Thomas Jefferson). Obeng led the Behrend Lions with eight goals on the year, while Reese led the team in assists with five, and points with nineteen.
Earning second-team honors were junior defender Bryan Blaszczyk (Erie/Mercyhurst Prep) and sophomore goalkeeper Matt Zirnsak (Butler/Butler). Blaszczyk started every game for the blue and white for the second year, while Zirnsak stepped in as a first-year starter and collected seven individual shut-outs.
