The North Eastern Athletic Conference announced its selections for its Men's Soccer All-Conference Teams on Thursday afternoon, and four Lancaster Bible College student-athletes earned season honors, as
Rama Mugisha was selected to the NEAC All-Conference First Team,
Nathan Muckle and
Chad Tolson were chosen for the NEAC All-Conference Second Team, and
Kedric Yoder earned a NEAC All-Conference Third Team nod.
Penn St. Abington's Hernando Villamil was named NEAC Player of the Year, while Shammah Gahomera of Penn St. Harrisburg was chosen as NEAC Defensive Player of the Year. SUNY Cobleskill goalkeeper Rashawn Best was named NEAC Rookie of the Year, and Penn St. Harrisburg Head Coach Daniel Krzyzanowicz earned NEAC Coach of the Year honors.
Mugisha, a 2017 NEAC All-Conference Second Team selection, has a team-high eight goals and two assists this season for the Chargers. His 18 points are the third-most on the Chargers as well, and he is tied for the team-lead alongside
Kedric Yoder with three-game winning goals. Mugisha had a four-game goal-scoring streak during the regular season, and had two goals in Lancaster Bible's 4-1 win over Delaware Valley on Oct. 24.
Muckle, a sophomore, earned his first-ever NEAC All-Conference honors this season, as he has helped anchor a Lancaster Bible defense that allowed just 13 goals in 11 NEAC contests. He scored his first-ever collegiate goal on Nov. 1 against Morrisville State, and the goal held up to be the game-winner. Muckle also scored in the Chargers NEAC Quarterfinal victory over SUNY Cobleskill, and has two goals on four shots this season.
Tolson, NEAC All-Conference Third Team selection last season, leads the team with 20 points this season, as he has posted seven goals and six assists. He scored in three straight games at the end of October and early November, and also had two assists in Lancaster Bible's 6-2 victory over Penn St. Berks on Homecoming. Tolson scored with under a minute to go in the Chargers 1-1 tie at Penn College on Oct. 5, and added the game-winning goal against Penn St. Abington on Sept. 13.
Yoder, also a sophomore, is an all-conference selection for the first time, as he is tied for the team-lead with 20 points. His 12 assists lead the NEAC, and three of his four goals this season are game-winning goals. Yoder currently has an assist in five straight games, and has six assists in those games. Yoder had a goal and an assist against both Penn St. Berks and Clarks Summit.
The Chargers will face Penn St. Harrisburg in Saturday's NEAC Quarterfinals at 11:30 a.m.
