WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Atlantic 10 Conference announced its end-of-season men's soccer awards Tuesday, recognizing five University of Dayton student-athletes for their accomplishments this season.
 
Senior Cooper Lijewski was named A10 Offensive Player of the Year, fellow senior Braden Seel earned A10 Midfielder of the Year honors, and newcomer Pablo Martinez was selected as A10 Rookie of the Year.
 
Lijewski earned A10 Offensive Player of the Year honors following a stellar senior season. The Wisconsin native led the conference in points (27), goals (10) and game-winning goals (3), while ranking second in assists (7). Lijewski recorded at least one point in 12 of his 17 games played this season, finding the back of the net in nine of those contests. The senior also earned First Team All-Conference and All-Academic honors.
 
Seel earned A10 Midfielder of the Year and First Team All-Conference honors after putting together a prolific season in the middle of the pitch for the Flyers. The Illinois native set a new program record with 11 assists, surpassing Chris Rolfe's previous mark of 10 set in 2004. Seel's 11 assists led the conference and ranked third nationally. While orchestrating the Flyers' midfield, the senior also found the back of the net four times, finishing with 19 points on the season. His point total ranked second in the conference, trailing only Lijewski.
 
Martinez made an immediate impact in his debut campaign, providing a spark for the Flyers' attack en route to A10 Rookie of the Year and All-Rookie Team honors. The Sevilla, Spain, native played and started all 17 games in his first season as a Flyer. The midfielder recorded 15 points, tallying five goals and five assists. Martinez also earned Second Team All-Conference honors.
