Five Men's Soccer Members Earn All-Centennial Conference Honors

COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – After making their Centennial Conference playoff debut, the Ursinus College men's soccer team received five All-Centennial Conference selections, announced by the conference on Wednesday.

First-year forward Joseph Kmetz, sophomore defender Jahsen Cole and senior goalie Josiah Moore each received All-Centennial second-team honors, while senior forward Matthew McFadden and sophomore midfielder Noah Huber garnered honorable mention recognition.

The Bears coaching staff was honored as Coaching Staff of the Year. Head coach Colin Klingman and assistant coaches Kai Haynes, Mike Narzikul, Toby Lovecchio, Tyler Afflerbach and Darius Madison helped guide Ursinus to its first Centennial Conference playoff berth in program history and its most conference wins since finishing 5-4 in 2021.

Kmetz led the Bears offensively, finishing with a team-high 15 points on six goals and three assists. The Newtown, Pennsylvania, native started 15 games for Ursinus, ranking eighth in the Centennial in goals (six), tied for third in game-winning goals (three) and eighth in points (15). Kmetz recorded a point in each of the Bears' first three games of the season, including his first collegiate goal in the team's 2-0 victory over Rutgers-Camden. The first-year forward scored in three consecutive games against Salisbury (Oct. 13), Gettysburg (Oct. 17) and Franklin & Marshall (Oct. 21), while leading the team with 15 shots on goal.

Moore anchored the Bears' defense, making 14 starts for Ursinus and finishing with a 7-5-2 record. The West Chester, Pennsylvania, native ranked third in the Centennial in shutouts (six) and save percentage (.786), fourth in goals-against average (1.29) and led the conference in saves with 66. Moore tallied eight games with five or more saves, including a season-high nine stops in the Bears' 2-1 victory over Gettysburg on October 17th. For his career, Moore posted 177 saves over 42 games played, including a .787 save percentage and 11 career shutouts.

Cole shined during his sophomore season for Ursinus, starting 16 games on the backline. He helped guide the Bears to the fourth-lowest goals-against average (1.33) in the Centennial, while adding two assists during the season. The Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, native recorded a pair of assists in 2-0 shutout victories over Eastern (September 15) and William Paterson (September 22). He ranked sixth on the team with 1,125 minutes played and appeared in all seven of the team's defensive shutouts.

Huber, a mainstay in the Bears' midfield, earned his first career All-Centennial recognition with an honorable mention selection. He started 17 games for Ursinus, totaling 20 shots and an assist. He ranked third on the team with 1,348 minutes played. The Cinnaminson, New Jersey, native recorded a shot in 13 games for the Bears and added his first collegiate assist in the Bears' 2-0 victory over Franklin & Marshall on October 21st.

McFadden was a spark for the Bears offensively, ranking second on the team with 11 points on four goals and three assists. The Medford, New Jersey, native started 15 games for the Bears, ranking second on the team with 12 shots on goal and tying for the team lead with two game-winning goals. He recorded the game-winning goal and added an assist in the team's victories over McDaniel (September 26) and Haverford (September 30).
