Dylan Reid capped a phenomenal career by becoming Bowdoin's third NESCAC Men's Soccer Player of the Year and ninth First Team All-American. In addition to anchoring Bowdoin's back line to a league-best 0.38 goals against average in the regular season, Reid pitched in a pair of goals and converted a key penalty in the Polar Bears' NCAA Second Round PK victory over Vassar.
Juantorena garnered Third Team All-American honors after dominating the midfield for the Polar Bears this fall. In addition to contributing to Bowdoin's league-best defensive unit, Juantorena scored four goals, both game-winners in conference victories against Trinity and Hamilton, and two more in NCAA Tournament play for the Polar Bears. He was also named First Team All-NESCAC this season.
Michael Webber collected First Team All-Region recognition after capturing First Team All-NESCAC earlier this fall. Webber led the conference with a microscopic 0.37 GAA in the regular season, including nine shutouts, and an .887 save percentage. He was particularly outstanding down the stretch for Bowdoin, as the Polar Bears clinched first place in the conference standings by going 5-0-2 in their last seven matches entering NCAA play, allowing just one goal in the month of October, including a scoreless stretch of 613 minutes. He also proved his mettle in NCAA play, making a pair of key saves in the penalty kick win over Vassar.
Carlton Steinberg netted Third Team All-Region honors for the first postseason award of his career. Seeing action in 17 games for Bowdoin, Steinberg controlled the wing for Bowdoin, assisting in the league-leading defensive corps and totaling four goals with an assist, including two game-winners.
Bowdoin concluded a historic campaign with a 13-2-5 record, advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
