The Valparaiso University men’s soccer team hauled in all-league honors as the Horizon League announced its 2016 award winners on Monday. Seniors Isaiah Madrid (Albuquerque, N.M. / Eldorado [Florida Gulf Coast]) and Omar Lawrence (Kingston, Jamaica / Excelsior) captured places on the first-team, while seniors Kendan Anderson (Portmore, Jamaica / St. George’s College [South Florida / ASA College]), Adrian Graham (Kingston, Jamaica / St. George’s College) and Nico Campbell (Kingston, Jamaica / St. George’s College) received second-team recognition.

Steffen Pulinx (Genk, Belgium / Onze-Live-Vrouwlyceum Genk) has achieved all-freshman team status. In addition, senior Suleiman Thomas (Chicago, Ill. / Lake Forest Academy) was placed on the Horizon League all-academic team on Friday.

Wright State’s Peguy Ngatcha was named the league’s Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year, while Cleveland State’s Sergio Manesio took home the Defensive Player of the Year accolade. Bryan Davis captured the Coach of the Year after guiding Wright State to the regular season title, while Milwaukee’s Evan Conway was named Freshman of the Year.

This marks the first time Valpo has two first-team honorees in the same season since 2011 (Stefan Antonijevic and Kyle Zobeck) and just the second time the Crusaders have had two first-team all-conference players since 1998.

Thomas has reached academic all-league status back-to-back seasons. He was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team on Oct. 27. Thomas, a business management major with a 3.90 grade point average, is eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-American honors, which are scheduled to be announced on Nov. 18.

Madrid leads the team with 10 goals and 25 points this season. He is the first Valpo player to rack up 25 points in a single season since 1991 and the first player to reach double figures in goals scored since 2001.

Lawrence has been a steady presence on a consistent Valpo defense throughout the season. He also has chipped in two goals. Despite only playing in 11 games, Anderson ranks second on the team with eight goals including three game-winners. Graham is another key piece of Valpo’s defense, while Campbell has six shutouts, 51 saves and a 1.00 GAA on the year.

Pulinx starts his career on Valpo’s defense with an appearance on the league all-freshmen team, the same way Lawrence and Graham began their careers in 2013.

Madrid was a member of the all-league second team a year ago, while Lawrence achieved that distinction in 2014.

The Crusaders begin the Horizon League Tournament on Monday at 7 p.m. CT at Milwaukee. The match can be seen on ESPN3, Watch ESPN and the ESPN app. Links to live video and stats are available on ValpoAthletics.com.
