All-Conference Team; Lynch named Coach of the Year and Toby Frosh of the
Year
 EVANS,
Ga. − The Flagler College men’s soccer team picked up some individual awards
as the 2009 All-Peach Belt Conference Men’s Soccer Team was announced at the
tournament banquet this afternoon.
Head Coach
John Lynch was selected as the Coach of the Year after guiding the
Saints to a 7-1 record in their first year in the conference. Flagler is the
No. 1 seed in the conference tournament which resumes this afternoon with
semifinal play.
Joseph Toby (Jacksonville, Fla./Wolfson HS) earned Freshman of the
Year honors. So far this season, he played in and started in 18 games and
has scored three goals with five assists for 11 points. Toby has a pair of
game winning goals to his credit.
Despite winning the conference regular season crown, Flagler (13-5-1
overall) had only one first team selection.
Johan Bergfeld (Akers Styckebruk, Sweden/Rekarnegymnasiet) was
selected as a first-team at-large selection after scoring two goals and
adding an assist for five points. He scored the game winning goal in
Flagler’s 3-1 win over Francis Marion University to wrap up the regular
season title.
The Saints have a balanced scoring attack which ranked third in the
conference in both goals scored (37) and goals per match (1.95).
Pol Berenguer (Barcelona, Spain/St. Augustine HS) earned
second-team all-conference honors as a midfielder. He has scored six goals
with one assist for 13 points. Berenguer leads the Saints with three game
winning goals.
Kevin Partel (St. Augustine, Fla./St. Joseph Academy) was named to
the second-team as a defender. He was named Defender of the Week by the
conference on Sept. 22. Partel has scored one goal in 19 matches played thus
far.
Conor Killeen (Dublin, Ireland/Colaiste Ide) was tabbed
second-team at-large. The junior midfielder has scored three goals with a
