EASTON, Mass. (November 21, 2011) – Stonehill College seniors Christopher Agan (Niskayuna, N.Y./Christian Brothers Academy), Ross McWilliams (Kingston, R.I./South Kingstown) and Michael White (Lisbon, N.H./Lisbon Regional) have been selected to participate in the 2011 New England Intercollegiate Soccer League (NEISL) Senior All-Star Game. The top seniors from NCAA Divisions I and II teams in New England will face off on Sunday at Harvard University at 1:30 p.m.
Agan guided a Skyhawks back line that allowed a 1.50 goals against average (GAA) in conference play and four shutouts overall this season. For his efforts this fall, Agan earned his third-straight selection to the Northeast-10 (NE-10) All-Conference third team becoming the first three-time honoree since midfielder Robbie Burns in 1997.
McWilliams ranked third on the team in scoring with five goals and three assists for 13 points in 19 games played (all starts). McWilliams tied for the team-lead in game winning markers with three on the season and earned NE-10 Player of the Week honors on October 24. During the week, McWilliams led Stonehill to a 2-0 record overall scoring two goals, both game-winners, and one assist for five points. McWilliams is the first Stonehill player to earn NE-10 Player of the Week accolades since Shaun Keeley (Woburn, Mass.) won it on September 22, 2008. Keeley scored three goals on the week, all against non-conference opponents.
White was named to the NE-10 All-Conference first team this season after leading the Skyhawks in scoring with 10 goals (three game-winners) and five assists for 25 points. White, who is the first Stonehill player to earn NE-10 first team honors since Tom Wetzel in 1999, has compiled 24 goals and 11 assists for 59 points in 69 games played over his four-year career to go along with eight game-winning markers. White concluded his senior season having missed just one contest in his career which occurred during his freshman season.
White, a two-sport athlete at Stonehill, also earned American Baseball Coaches' Association (ABCA) All-East Region second team honors and Daktronics All-East second team honors as a member of the Skyhawk baseball team last spring.
Stonehill, who fell to Franklin Pierce University 4-0 in the NE-10 quarterfinal round, tied the program record for conference wins this fall which was set in 1990 (7-1-1) and clinched its first winning season since 1997 (9-8-1).
