PHILADELPHIA – Stas Korzeniowski earned Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year honors, Leo Burney was named Defensive Player of the Year and James C. Gentle Head Coach Brian Gill took home Coach of the Year honors, highlighting All-Ivy recognition for the newly-crowned conference champion University of Pennsylvania men's soccer team, as announced by the conference office Wednesday afternoon.

Since the Player of the Year award was split into offensive and defensive selections in 2013, Korzeniowski and Burney are the first teammates to sweep the category. Additionally, they're the first sophomores in 29 years to win conference Player of the Year; Rikki Dadason of Columbia was the last to do it in 1993.

Korzeniowski, a unanimous selection, and Burney were joined on the first team by midfielder Isaac McGinnis. The trio of goalkeeper Nick Christoffersen, defender Jack Rosener, and forward Ben Stitz were named second team, and defender Ben Do was named honorable mention. Burney (first team), McGinnis and Stitz (second team), and Korzeniowski (honorable mention) are all repeat selections from 2021.

Gill was the unanimous selection for Coach of the Year, guiding the Quakers to their first conference crown since 2013 after being selected fifth in the pre-season poll. Penn won at Cornell and Yale for the first time since 2016, knocked off Columbia for the first time since 2011, and won at Princeton for the first time since 2006. Gill also guided Penn to its first ranking in the United Soccer Coaches poll since 2010.

Korzeniowski wrecked havoc on opposing defenses all season, scoring a conference-leading 10 goals, adding six assists for 26 points, the most by a Quaker in more than 25 years. He capped his season with goals in five of the team's final seven matches, including four of the last five Ivy contests.

As he did in 2021, Burney stifled opponents' attacks throughout the season, playing all but 24 minutes in the team's 16 matches after playing all but 22 minutes last season. Burney not only limited opposing teams to fewer than one goal and eight shots per match, he made his presence felt on the offensive side of the ball, scoring five goals, including two game-winners in Ivy League play.

McGinnis, in his second season as team captain, displayed remarkable two-way play setting career-highs in goals and assists (three each), while contributing to Penn's spectacular team defense. He capped the regular season with two goals in the final three matches, including a penalty kick against Princeton that wound up the game-winner in the conference championship-clinching victory.

Christoffersen was the most consistent presence on the field for the Quakers this season, playing 1,436 of a possible 1,440 minutes. The senior from Toronto was the only Ivy netminder to end the regular season with a goals-against average under 1.000 (0.752), thanks in large part to six shutouts, second-most among conference keepers.

Rosener, like Burney, featured heavily in the attack from his backline spot, finishing the season with three assists while utilizing his end-to-end speed to help Penn to the top-scoring offense and defense in the conference. He was also named Academic All-Ivy for his work in the classroom.

Entering the season, Stitz had recorded just three goals and 16 points in 48 matches, but exploded this season for nine goals and 25 points, both good for second among all Ivy players behind only Korzeniowski. He scored in seven straight matches, all Quaker wins, between September 11 and October 11, the longest streak by a Quaker since Sean O'Donnell in 1977.

After not appearing in one match as a freshman, Do came on strong as a sophomore, joining fellow backliners Burney and Rosener on the All-Ivy team while playing an equally significant role in Penn's attack. Do assisted on goals in three straight victories from the end of September to early October, then capped the regular season in style, scoring his first collegiate goal to cap Penn's 3-0 win over Princeton last Saturday.

The Red and Blue finished above .500 for the fourth straight season under Gill, the first such occurrence since the 1981-1984 campaigns. The Quakers went 5-0-0 between Rhodes Field and Penn Park during the regular season, running their home record under Gill to 19-6-6, a winning percentage of 71 percent.

The Quakers will be back on the pitch Thursday night at Penn Park for NCAA First Round action against Rutgers; match time is 7:00 p.m.
