ROSEMONT, Ill. – After posting the first 8-0 record in the history of the conference and winning the regular season title, the No. 2-ranked Indiana University men's soccer team raked in the yearly Big Ten awards on Friday.
Senior Andrew Gutman was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, sophomore Trey Muse was named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, Jack Maher was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and Todd Yeagley was named Big Ten Coach of the Year.
Joining Gutman and Muse on the All-Big Ten First-Team were Griffin Dorsey and Francesco Moore. Earning Second-Team All-Big Ten honors for IU were Justin Rennicks, Trevor Swartz, Rece Buckmaster and Timmy Mehl. Jeremiah Gutjahr was named Indiana's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner as well.
Indiana's total of 12 honorees were the most in the league, while the team's four first-team accolades were also the most in the conference.
After establishing himself as one of the best players in the nation, Gutman was unanimously selected as the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team honoree. The Hinsdale, Ill. product has helped IU post a Big Ten-best 11 shutouts, while also being a force on the offensive end. Gutman ranks second in the conference with nine goals and third with seven assists. He also leads the Big Ten and ranks second in the nation with six game-winning goals.
Muse has continued to be a stalwart for the Hoosiers in goal, earning unanimous Goalkeeper of the Year and first-team accolades. Muse is the first Hoosier to win Goalkeeper of the Year after posting a league-leading eight solo shutouts and a 0.54 goals against average. The Louisville, Ky. product posted five shutouts in conference action and only surrendered three goals in league play.
After making an instant impact for Indiana, Maher was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. The Caseyville, Ill. native has started all 17 matches at center back for IU, helping the team post a Big Ten-leading 11 shutouts and allow the fewest goals in the conference (9). Maher is the 15th Hoosier to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
For the second time in his career (2010), Yeagley was named Big Ten Coach of the Year. Yeagley helped guide the Hoosiers to the first 8-0 record in conference history and the 15th regular season championship in program history. Under Yeagley, the Hoosiers are unbeaten in the team's last 36 matches against Big Ten opponents (23-0-13).
Moore was a unanimous selection to the Big Ten First-Team after also earning the honor a season ago. Moore has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the country, helping IU allow just nine goals this season and record a league-best 11 shutouts. On the offensive end, Moore has recorded three assists for the Hoosiers this year.
Joining Gutman, Muse and Moore on the All-Big Ten First-Team was Dorsey, who has scored four goals and tallied three assists on the season. In league play, Dorsey had one goal and two assists, including the match-winner against Northwestern.
After a breakout season for IU, Swartz earned the first Big Ten honor of his career with a spot on the All-Big Ten Second Team. Swartz leads the conference and ranks fourth in the nation with 10 assists. He also has a goal this year, the match-winner at Rutgers.
Rennicks also earned his first career Big Ten accolade with his second-team honors. Rennicks is fifth in the Big Ten with six goals and is tied for ninth in the league in points with 12. The Hamilton, Mass. product had three game-winners for IU this season – No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 12 Michigan State and Butler.
Rounding out the All-Big Ten honors for IU were a pair of defenders – Mehl and Buckmaster. For the second-straight season, Mehl earned second-team accolades after posting one goal and one assist. Buckmaster earned his first honor after totaling three goals and two assists. Both played critical roles for Indiana's defense. The duo combined for 32 starts along the IU backline that allowed just nine goals and recorded 11 shutouts on the season.
A leader on and off the pitch for Indiana, Gutjahr was named IU's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree. A Senior CLASS Award nominee, Gutjahr has started 16 of the team's 17 matches this season, helping Indiana have one of the best defenses in the nation.
The No. 2-ranked Hoosiers will host a Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal match on Sunday, Nov. 4 at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium at 4:00 p.m. ET. IU will face the winner of the No. 8 Northwestern and No. 9 Ohio State match on Nov. 3 in Bloomington.
