GROVE CITY, Pa. -- Six members of the Grove City College men's soccer team earned All-Presidents' Athletic Conference recognition from the league's head men's soccer coaches Tuesday afternoon.

Senior defender Daniel Adams (The Woodlands, Texas/The Woodlands), sophomore goalkeeper Brenden Alfery (Pittsburgh, Pa./Central Catholic) and junior defender George DeAugustino (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley) all landed on the Second Team. Sophomore midfielder Justin Phillips (Simi Valley, Calif./Oaks Christian) received Honorable Mention.
Loew led Grove City with nine goals and 21 total points this season. He also shared the team lead in assists (3) with Reese. Loew earned First Team All-PAC honors as a freshman and owns 15 goals for his career. He is a two-year starter and started all 19 matches this year for Grove City (8-5-6 overall, 4-1-3 PAC).
Reese emerged this season and led the conference with 13 total points in conference play. He ranked second on the team with seven goals and 17 points overall.
Adams started 18 matches at outside back and helped the Wolverine defense post seven shutouts and an 0.72 goals-against average this season. Adams also earned Second Team All-Conference in 2012.
