Gettysburg senior Greg Stevcic (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) was a first-team choice at midfield and was also named the Conference's Player of the Year in balloting conducted by the 10 head coaches. It is the third consecutive first-team honor for Stevcic and he becomes the second consecutive Gettysburg player to earn Player of the Year honors. He had 11 goals and 15 assists for 37 points this season.
The Mules, who finished 8-0-1 in the Conference and 14-4-1 overall, placed two players on the first unit and four on the second team. Making his third straight appearance on the first team is senior forward Todd Ervin (Emmaus, PA/Hill School), who had 11 goals and 11 assists for 33 points this fall. He had 7-8-22 in Centennial matches, setting a record for assists in CC games. Senior Sean Topping (Nazareth, PA/Nazareth) repeats as a first-teamer on defense. His play helped Muhlenberg permit just five goals in nine Centennial matches. The Mules' second-team selections include sophomore forward Johan Hohman (Landenberg, PA/St. Mark's, DE), senior midfielder Tim O'Donohue (Stockholm, NJ/Wallkill Valley Regional), senior back Mike Finn (Livingston, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) and senior goalkeeper Dan Wilkin (Cranford, NJ/Cranford).
Gettysburg had two other first-team choices in addition to Stevcic - sophomore forward Chris Pryor (Lawrenceville, NJ/Lawrenceville) and senior back Matt Kelly (Doylestown, PA/Central Bucks West). Pryor had 15-7-37 overall and 10-5-25 in Conference matches to place second in CC scoring. Kelly led a Bullet defense that allowed just six goals in nine Centennial contests.
A pair of players became the first two Conference players to earn first-team All-Centennial honors four times - Johns Hopkins senior Eric West (Mechanicsburg, PA/Cumberland Valley) and Haverford senior Frank Adamson (Washington, DC/St. Anselm's Abbey). West led the CC in scoring with 12-2-26 in Conference games, while tallying 17-6-40 overall. He closed his Centennial career as the Conference's all-time leading scorer with 40-9-89 in the CC and 71-28-170 overall. Adamson was the leading scorer among Centennial players with 18-14-50 overall. He graduates as the school's all-time leader in goals (49) and points (131).
Joining West on the first team from the Blue Jays are midfielder Peter Quin (Frederick, MD/Gov. Johnson) and back Peter Kahn (East Granby, CT/East Granby). Quin, a junior, scored 11-3-25 in all matches this fall, while Kahn led the Hopkins' defense that shared the Conference title for fewest goals allowed (5) in Centennial matches.
Rounding out the first team is Dickinson senior back Eric Moskoff (North Brunswick, NJ/North Brunswick Twp.) and Washington junior goalkeeper Travis Beauchamp (Warsaw, VA/Christchurch School). Moskoff's play enabled the Red Devils to permit just nine goals in CC matches this fall, while Beauchamp had 107 saves and registered a 1.85 goals against mark.
