Angus Hastings anchored Fairfield's defensive efforts, was rewarded for his efforts with a berth to the United Soccer Coaches All-Region First Team, while leading scorer Ben Wignall was selected to the organization's All-Region SEcond Team. Don-Junior Bobe was placed on the United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team after finishing the year as one of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference's top freshmen scorers.
"Angus has gone from strength to strength throughout his career at Fairfield University," Head Coach Carl Rees said. "He has led the team throughout with vocal direction and working incredibly hard on both sides of the ball. Stellar defensive play and a knack for scoring late goals has defined his time with our program."
"Ben is a natural goal scorer. He is equally effective as a center forward or as an attacking midfield player," Rees said. "His commitment and intensity has been a trademark of his performances. Combined with his technique with the ball and intelligent movement away from the ball, he has been a constant goal scoring threat to our opponents."
"Don Junior has hit the ground running since his arrival this Fall," Rees said. "He scored goals immediately and led the line in attack in the center forward position. He has tremendous focus and willingness to improve his game. He will only get better performing as the focal point of our attack"
The Fairfield University Men's Soccer team, under Head Coach Carl Rees, captured the 2017 MAAC Regular-Season and Tournament Championships this year after posting a 12-5-3 overall record and a 7-1-2 MAAC slate. Rees, who was voted the MAAC Coach of the Year, helped the Stags advance to the 2017 NCAA tournament.
