WICHITA, Kan. – The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) is pleased to announce the 2023 KCAC Men's Soccer All-Conference award winners, as voted on by the head men's soccer coaches.
Oklahoma Wesleyan University was the KCAC regular-season champion with a 12-0-1 conference record. The Eagles took home several of this season's conference individual awards.
The Eagles' Stefan Cvetanovic was named both the KCAC Men's Soccer Most Valuable Player and the Offensive Player of the Year. This marks the second time in his career that Cvetanvoic has earned the Most Valuable Player Award (2022 and 2023), and the fourth time he has been named the Offensive Player of the Year (2018, 2020, 2022, 2023).
Kirill Pakhomov of Oklahoma Wesleyan was named the KCAC Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Year, while teammate Joao Neves earned the Men's Soccer Newcomer of the Year honor. The Eagles' Oliver Scott was named the KCAC Men's Soccer Goalkeeper of the Year. Jamie Peterson, Oklahoma Wesleyan's head coach, was named the Coach of the Year by his peers.
The only individual award not awarded to an Oklahoma Wesleyan player was the KCAC Men's Soccer Freshman of the Year honor. Bethel College's Filip Maksimovic was selected for that award.
