IRVINE, California – The Biola University men's soccer team won a share of the Pacific West Conference championship and a trip to Texas for the NCAA tournament. When their flight lands today in San Antonio, they will learn that they have won four of the conference's special awards as well.

Dominican's David Frank, whose team shared that banner with the Eagles, is the Pacific West Conference Coach of the Year. Concordia forward Anthony Morales is the conference's Freshman of the Year, but Biola can lay claim to the Player of the Year (Kristian Colaci), the Defender of the Year (Izaac Zausch), the Goalkeeper of the Year (JD Gunn) and the Newcomer of the Year (Jakob Schnitzler).

Joining the five award winners on the First Team All-PacWest squad is Hawai'i Pacific's Gerrit Arzberger, who is making his fourth appearance on a All-PacWest team. Co-champ Dominican had two members, Brian Sanchez and Louie Galdamez, while Biola's Theo Le Calve picked up his second all-conference award. Rounding out the First Team is Azusa Pacific's 2021 Player of the Year Gregoire Diep, Erik Arias of Holy Names, Marco Astorga of APU, and Point Loma's Milan Diklic.
