HADLEY, Mass. – The Bowdoin Polar Bears have swept the individual NESCAC Men's Soccer awards, marking the third time since 2000 one institution has won all three honors (Williams – 2003, Middlebury – 2008). Dylan Reid was selected as the NESCAC Player of the Year and first-year teammate Tyler Huck was named the NESCAC Rookie of the Year. Bowdoin head coach Scott Wiercinski was voted as the NESCAC Coach of the Year by his peers.
Reid, who is the first defensive player to earn the NESCAC Player of the Year honor since 2017, also earned a spot on the All-NESCAC First Team for the second consecutive season. The senior is the third player from Bowdoin to earn the honor joining Nick Figueiredo (2007) and Nabil Odulate (2015). Reid has started 15 of 16 games this season and chipped in five points on two goals and one assist. Reid was a part of a 613-minute shutout streak during the season and in the final seven games to close out the regular season, Reid and the Polar Bears went 5-0-2, allowing just one goal.
Huck is the third Polar Bear to earn NESCAC Rookie of the Year honors joining Ben Denton-Schneider (2007), Ben Brewster (2010). Huck ranks second on the Bowdoin squad in scoring with nine points on three goals, two game-winners, and three assists.
Wiercinski is the NESCAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his nine seasons directing the Bowdoin program. Wiercinski guided Bowdoin to the top seed in the NESCAC Men's Soccer Championship for the first time since 2010. The Polar Bears will make their ninth appearance in the NCAA Tournament and host first and second-round matches after being an at-large selection to the field.
