Allegheny junior men's soccer player D.J. Egan was named to the All-North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Second Team while two teammates -- senior James Fulton and freshman Chris Brennan -- received Honorable Mentions from the conference, as voted on by the 10 head coaches.
Egan played in all 17 games for the Gators (7-9-1, 2-6-1), starting 16, and tied for the team lead with five goals. He also made one assist. Egan, who scored twice during a 3-1 win over Mount Union, was credited with the game winner against the Purple Raiders.
Fulton started each game for Allegheny and recorded his first career hat trick in spectacular fashion, scoring three times in a 3-2 comeback win versus John Carroll. He scored the game's equalizer in the 89th minute before tallying the game winner in overtime. Fulton, a team captain, had three goals and five assists in 2009 and finished his collegiate career with 73 games played, 57 starts, seven goals and seven assists.
As a first-year member of the Gators, Brennan tied Egan for the team's lead in goals. Along with his five goals, he also made two assists, which helped him atop the Gator leaderboard in points (12). Brennan scored one game-winning goal, which lifted Allegheny to a 2-1 victory over Earlham.
