Seahawks Place Three on All-TCCC Teams
NEWPORT, R.I. - The Salve Regina University men's soccer team placed three student-athletes on The Commonwealth Coast Conference (TCCC) All-Conference teams as junior Ken Johnson (Colonia, N.J.) and sophomores Sean McAllister (North Arlington, N.J.) and Ian Jentgen (Columbus, Ohio) were each recognized for their accomplishments during the 2009 season.
McAllister was named to the All-TCCC First Team after leading the Seahawks in both goals (eight) and points (20) during the regular season. He netted two game-winning goals (Sept. 30 - Univ. of New England; Oct. 24 - Eastern Nazarene) and currently ranks third in TCCC in goals and fourth in points.
Jentgen, meanwhile, was named to the All-TCCC Second Team. After finished second on the team in scoring (2-6-10) as a forward last season, head coach Craig ORourke moved Jentgen to back, where he has flourished this season.
