Bezerra, Celentano Earn Player of the Year Accolades
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana men's soccer team cleaned up the 2020-21 Big Ten Conference postseason awards, the league announced Friday afternoon.
The Hoosiers led the conference with 10 overall Big Ten postseason honors. Indiana finished with three first-team selections, six overall team selections, and three specialty award winners.
Sophomore forward Victor Bezerra, sophomore goalie Roman Celentano, and redshirt senior defender Spencer Glass earned All-Big Ten First Team plaudits, while sophomore midfielder Herbert Endeley and redshirt sophomore defender Daniel Munie were named to the 2020-21 All-Big Ten Second Team.
Freshman defender Joey Maher was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team.
Bezerra also earned Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors. He is the third Hoosier to garner the award as he joins Will Bruin (2010) and Eriq Zavaleta (2012). Celentano became the second IU keeper to be named Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year (Trey Muse, 2018).
Indiana head coach Todd Yeagley was named Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year for the fourth time. He had previously claimed the award in 2010, '18, and '19. Yeagley helped guide the Hoosiers to a 7-1-0 record in conference play for the second time in as many seasons and the 17th regular season conference title in program history. Yeagley joins his father, Jerry Yeagley, as the only coaches in Big Ten program history to earn the accolade in three-consecutive seasons. Jerry achieved the feat from 2001-03.
Rounding out the Indiana honors, Glass was one-of-nine players selected as a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree.
Indiana holds the No. 1 overall seed in the 2020-21 Big Ten Conference Championship. The Hoosiers will host a quarterfinal matchup at 7 p.m. ET at Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium against the eighth-seeded Northwestern Wildcats. The match will be aired live on BTN.
Consistent with IU Athletics' ongoing efforts to protect the health and safety of students, coaches, staff, spectators and the local community, men's soccer matches will continue to be played without fans indefinitely. All times, dates, and locations are subject to change.
VICTOR BEZERRA
Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year / All-Big Ten First Team
Bezerra dominated early in the season with four goals in the opening two matches of the abbreviated season. He scored a brace against both Wisconsin and Ohio State on his way to scoring a Big Ten-leading six goals. He led the conference in shots (22), shots on goal (13), goals (6) and total points (15). He also added three assists (t-5th) and two game-winning tallies (t-2nd).
The Chicago native was the catalyst for the league's most explosive offense, a unit that averages 2.38 goals per contest in the regular season. That number cleared the field by 0.63 goals per game. The Hoosiers outscored opponents 19-2 in eight matches this season.

DANIEL MUNIE
All-Big Ten Second Team
Munie, who was recently honored as a Top Drawer Soccer Top-100 Underclassman, has tallied two goals this season, including a game-winner in the 88th minute against Michigan State.
