SAN BRUNO, Calif. --- Portland senior Collen Warner and juniors Austin Guerrero and Jarad vanSchaik landed on the All-West Coast Conference First Team as nine Pilots total earned all-league post-season honors. San Diego’s Ryan Peterman was voted the WCC’s Player of the Year, Jordan Grider of Saint Mary’s is the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and USD’s Patrick Wallen was named freshman of the Year.
SMC head coach Adam Cooper is the WCC’s Coach of the Year after guiding the Gaels to their first NCAA post-season appearance.
It’s the third straight year on the first team for Warner, who leads the Pilots with seven goals and 20 points this fall. Guerrero was also named to the All-WCC First Team as a freshman, while vanSchaik is a first-time selection.
Sophomore Ryan Kawulok landed on the All-WCC second team and senior Logan Emory, junior Ryan Luke and sophomore Michael Nielsen each earned all-league honorable mention. Ricardo Carrillo and Marc Tonkel were named to the WCC’s All-Freshman Team.
Peterman was selected to the All-WCC first team last year and continued his impressive campaign this season as a starter in every game of his career with the Toreros. Peterman was a crucial part of the backfield this year, helping guide the WCC’s top team to the most conference shutouts this season. Peterman also contributed on the front end with two assists and was pivotal in the Northwest contests late in the season.
Grider is only the second Saint Mary’s player to receive the Defensive Player of the Year award. Grider was instrumental in the Gaels’ run to second place in the WCC standings, competing in all 12 conference games. Grider led a defense that recorded a new Saint Mary’s single-season record with seven shutouts and tallied the second best record behind the conference champion in goals allowed.
Wallen made notable contributions to the Torero campaign in his first collegiate season. In the month of October alone, Wallen earned WCC Player of the Month honors, after leading San Diego to a 7-1-0 overall and conference record, as well as recording four goals, two of which were game-winners, and three assists for 11 points.
Cooper was awarded his first WCC Coach of the Year honor, after leading his team to its first 10-win season in Gael history (10-4-5), and his selection as Coach of the Year marked the first time a Saint Mary’s coach has ever won this award.
All seven WCC teams were represented on the All-WCC first team, with five players as repeat honorees, including Peterman, 2008 Player of the Year Conor Chinn, and 2009 WCC preseason all-conference team members Rafael Baca, Tye Perdido, and Collen Warner.
Every WCC team also had at least one player named to the All-WCC second team and all-freshman team.
