All-Conference Selections for WCAC soccer were chosen last week, and Holy Cross’s Colleen Dinn and Bishop McNamara’s Mayowa Alli were chosen as the Players of the Year.

Dinn, who will play soccer at Georgetown next year, is a four-year starter for Holy Cross and scored eight goals this season while adding 11 assists. The Tartans finished the year 13-6-2 and lost to Good Counsel in the WCAC semifinals.

Bishop McNamara senior defenseman Mayowa Alli was a second-team selection in 2007, a first-team selection in 2008 and now can add Player of the Year to his resume for 2009. Alli helped lead a McNamara team to a 10-9-5 record on the season, which included victories over Gonzaga twice during the regular season and Carroll in the first round of the WCAC playoffs. The Mustangs eventually lost to DeMatha in the semifinals. Only DeMatha allowed fewer league goals than McNamara this season.

The Coach of the Year honors went to Archbishop Carroll’s Glenn Diaz and Holy Cross’s Nelson Abreau. Complete first, second and third-team selections are below. Honorable mention selections will be posted when they become available.
