Mihalic Tabbed Big Ten’s Top Attacker
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Big Ten Conference on Friday (Nov. 8) announced the 2024 Men's Soccer All-Big Ten Teams and individual honors, according to a vote of the conference's 11 head coaches.
Big Ten regular season co-champion Indiana men's soccer collected a league-leading eight all-conference selections between the first team, second team and Big Ten All-Freshman Team. IU also led the conference with four first team selections. Nine Hoosiers collected 10 awards in total on Friday – both totals tying co-champion Ohio State for the league lead.
Senior forward Tommy Mihalic was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year after finishing the regular season as the Big Ten's co-leading scorer with 10 goals. The senior has also posted a career-high five assists. Mihalic is the fourth Hoosier to win the award, joining Will Bruin (2010), Eriq Zavaleta (2012) and Victor Bezerra (2020-21).
Mihalic is joined on the All-Big Ten first team by senior forward Samuel Sarver (5 goals, 8 assists), senior midfielder Patrick McDonald (2 goals, 2 assists) and junior defender Quinton Elliot (3 goals, 3 assists). Sarver and McDonald were repeat honorees. Elliot earned his first All-Big Ten selection after transferring from Louisville in January.
For the second-straight season, Indiana is represented on the All-Big Ten First Team in attack, midfield and defense. 2018 was the last season four Hoosiers reached the first team (Dorsey, Gutman, Moore, Muse).
Senior defender Jansen Miller (4 assists) and senior goalkeeper JT Harms earned All-Big Ten Second Team selections. Harms repeated as a second team honoree. Indiana has conceded 22 goals in 19 matches (1.16 goals against average), recorded four clean sheets and has not allowed multiple goals in any of its last seven matches.
Midfielder Charlie Heuer (4 goals, 2 assists) and Josh Maher (3 assists) earned selections to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Indiana has represented in the freshman team each of the last seven seasons. Maher joins brothers Jack (2018) and Joey (2020-21) as Big Ten All-Freshman Team honorees at Indiana.
Junior midfielder Jack Wagoner (two assists) was Indiana's recipient of the Big Ten Sportsmanship award.
Indiana has produced a record 124 first-team All-Big Ten honorees. Penn State is the next-best program with 65.
