Fifth-year senior defenders Wei Ming Wong (Hong Kong/Hong Kong International [SMU]) and Stefan Antonijevic (Buffalo Grove, Ill./Stevenson [College of Lake County/Marquette]) represented Valparaiso on the Horizon League Men’s Soccer All-Tournament Team as the championship concluded on Sunday.

The duo of Antonijevic and Wong combined to create a nearly impenetrable wall at center back for the Crusaders in their semifinal game against Loyola.  The pair of seniors helped hold the Ramblers to just four total shot attempts as Valpo earned the scoreless draw, the program-record 11^th shutout of the season.  Antonijevic also came up big for the Crusaders during the ensuing shootout, netting a goal in the fifth round to advance the penalty kicks into sudden death.
