SEATTLE - Zach Ramsey, Alex Hall, and Harrison Bertos have been named Big Ten Players of the year as six Huskies also collect All-Big Ten awards the conference announced on Thursday.
Ramsey, the nation's leading scorer was deservedly named the Big Ten's Offensive Player of the Year and an All-Big Ten First Team selection. He's been on another level this year, already tying the UW single season goals record with his 19th strike against Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament. Ramsey's been involved in 24 of Washington's 40 goals, chipping in five assists as well. A two-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honoree this season, Ramsey has also been named to MAC Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List and was tabbed as Top Drawer Soccer's No. 1 ranked player.
Hall has distinguished himself as one of the most creative midfielders in the nation and was named the Big Ten's Midfielder of the Year and an All-Big Ten First Team pick. A slippery and dynamic player in the midfield for the Huskies, Hall leads the team with six assists on the year to go along with three goals as well. He's been a dominant pairing with Zach Ramsey, as Washington's No. 6 and No. 7 have complemented each other all season. Hall joined Ramsey on the Top Drawer Soccer top 100 list, coming in at No. 18.
Bertos, a clutch defender with a knack for scoring, was named the Big Ten's Defensive Player of the Year and an All-Big Ten First Team selection. After scoring the match winner in the national championship a season ago, Bertos has once again been a crucial part of Washington's team. He's helped the Huskies to five shutouts on the season while adding three goals, two of which have been match-winning strikes. Bertos joined both Ramsey and Hall on the Top Drawer Soccer Top 100 Player rankings, coming in at No. 12.
Shaun Brun and Jake Goetting were also recognized in the Big Ten postseason awards rollout as the pair brought home Big Ten All-Freshman Team honors.
Brun, a defender, has filled in well for Washington when the Huskies have needed another defender on the backline. He's played at both center back and left back, most recently playing the full 110 minutes against Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament. Brun was also named Big Ten Freshman of the Week once earlier this season.
Goetting, a forward, has kept the offensive pressure on as a substitute for the Huskies. He's scored three goals, two of which have been match winners coming against Michigan and Maryland. For each of his match-winning strikes, Goetting earned a Big Ten Freshman of the Week nod, claiming the award on back-to-back weeks.
Lastly, Chad Sovde was named the Huskies' Sportsmanship honoree. A senior forward, Sovde has provided an offensive spark for the Huskies, both when starting and when playing as a substitute. He's been a leader for the Huskies on and off the field.
Washington returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 15 in the Big Ten Tournament Championship Match at Indiana at 12 p.m. PT.
