On Saturday, the Big East announced the end of season awards for men’s soccer. Marquette’s very own Luka Prpa was named Freshman of the Year and was a unanimous choice for the all-freshman team, while senior center back John Pothast was named to the all-Big East Second Team.
Prpa, the first Golden Eagle to ever be named Big East Freshman of the Year, finished his first season of collegiate soccer with 10 goals and six assists. His 26 points were second most in the entire Big East this season and the highest point total by any MU player since Chris Lee threw up 30 in 2003.
