All-SSC History: SSC Players and Coaches of the Year | All-SSC Teams
Shortly after becoming the NCAA Division II leader in career goals, the University of Tampa’s Andrew Kew has been voted SSC Player of the Year by conference coaches. In 15 games for the Spartans, Kew tallied 81 points from 50 goals and 31 assists with a .365 shooting percentage. The senior attackman from Oakville, Ontario is the SSC leader in goals per game (3.33) and points per game (5.40) and is second in assists per game (2.07) and shots per game (9.13). Kew becomes the second Tampa athlete to be named league Player of the Year1.
Gunner Gebelein from Palm Beach Atlantic University is awarded Freshman of the Year honors after starting in 16 games for the Sailfish this season. The Huntingtown, Maryland product shone brightly on the defensive end for PBA, ranking first in conference caused turnovers per game (2.44) and eighth in ground balls per game (5.25). Gebelein is the first male athlete from PBA to be named Freshman of the Year in the SSC2, the first Sailfish to earn an individual award in lacrosse, and the first freshman defensive player to earn First Team All-SSC honors3.
SSC coaches select Lynn’s Brian Kingsbury as the 2019 SSC Coach of the Year. The first and only head coach of the Fighting Knights earns the honor after guiding the program to its first-ever double-digit win season (11-3). Under Kingsbury’s leadership, the Fighting Knights have risen to the No. 15 team in the USILA national poll, won their first SSC regular-season title, and will host in the conference postseason tournament. The honor is the second of his Kingsbury’s career4.
Kew highlights the repeat All-SSC award winners as he receives his fourth consecutive conference award, which includes three straight First Team selections. Those athletes earning First or Second Team accolades for the third time in their careers are Jake Mosher McGraw (Tampa), Austen Lison (Florida Southern College), Dryden Brous (Lynn), Thomas Tatarian (Saint Leo University), and Logan Sweeney (Florida Tech). In total, 15 of this year’s 32 upperclassmen award winners repeat as an All-SSC selection.
