12/7/2022 3:43:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Ryan Wittenbrink has been a dynamic presence for Indiana men's soccer this fall.
The first-team All-Big Ten honoree, who leads Indiana with nine goals and nine assists this season, was named a College Sports Communicators (CSC) third-team All-American on Wednesday (Dec. 7).
The CSC awards student-athletes that perform at the highest level both in the classroom and on the field. A finance and accounting double major, Wittenbrink has recorded 3.58 cumulative grade-point average during his time at IU, is a three-time Big Ten Fall Academic Honor Roll selection and, in 2020, was named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar.
Wittenbrink has broken out as IU's top point-earner this season, recording 18 goal contributions in 22 matches. The Liberty, Illinois, native is one of three NCAA Division-I men's soccer players to have tallied at least nine goals and nine assists. Five of Wittenbrink's nine goals have been game-winners for Indiana, including the lone score in IU's 1-0, NCAA Tournament Second Round win over Saint Louis.
Earlier this fall, Wittenbrink was one of six Hoosiers named CSC Academic All-District, the preliminary list to Academic All-America, including Maouloune Goumballe, Quinten Helmer, Joey Maher, Nyk Sessock, Ben Yeagley.
A member of IU's 2020 NCAA College Cup team, Wittenbrink's dynamism has helped the Hoosiers return to the final four for the 22nd time in the program's history. Indiana kicks off play in the semifinal round on Friday (Dec. 7) at 8:30 p.m. ET when it faces Pittsburgh.
