Lancaster, PA - Seven Johns Hopkins men's soccer players were named to the All-Centennial Conference teams announced by the league Tuesday.

Williams, who was selected to the all-conference team for the third time, tied for the team lead with 13 assists this season and is the Blue Jays' career leader with 40 assists. Kitzen, who made the conference first team for the fourth straight year, finished the season with nine goals and 19 points.

Galli, a senior forward who recorded five goals this season and ended his career with 30 goals and 81 points, earned his second straight second team honor. Tarabolous, a sophomore forward who finished second on this year's team with 25 points on nine goals and seven assists, received all-league recognition for the first time. Hack was a second team selection for the second consecutive year after scoring four goals and anchoring a strong Hopkins defense this season. Mangels, another solid defender who added one goal this year, earned his first all-conference award.

With seven players selected, Hopkins was the most represented school on the all-conference teams. Franklin & Marshall's Scott Runyon earned the Centennial Conference Player of the Year award.
