Granville, Ohio - The North Coast Athletic Conference has released their All-NCAC teams, and six members of the Big Red men's soccer team were honored, with two receiving major awards. Kameron Kist was named Midfielder of the Year for the second-straight season, while Henri Heyes was named Defensive Player of the Year. Fellow senior Zarius Eusebe also earned first-team honors, and junior Eli Taylor and sophomore Kaden Kist were named to the second team. First-year goalkeeper Alex Provost earns his first all-conference nod, being awarded on the third team after an impressive rookie campaign. 

First Team

Kameron Kist (Midfielder of the Year): Kist has been named Midfielder of the Year for the second-straight season and has been named to first team All-NCAC for the third consecutive season. Kist had a team-leading nine goals and was second in assists with six. He led the conference in shots (55), and tied first in shots on goal (27) and points (24). He also ranked in the top three in goals and assists, and has two game-winning goals. In conference games, he netted five goals and dished off two assists for a conference-leading 12 points. He had one multi-goal game and had two, three-game stretches of netting a goal in each game. So far in his Big Red career, Kist has played and started in all 62 games, scored 14 goals, dished out 20 assists, and has 27 shots on goal.

Henri Heyes (Defensive Player of the Year): Heyes was deemed Defensive Player of the Year for the first time in his career, and has been placed on first team All-NCAC for the second-straight season and has been on an all-conference team his entire career at Denison. He is the first Big Red since 2006 to be named Defensive Player of the Year. Heyes has anchored a defense that has a conference-leading 11 shutouts, five of which were achieved at the start of the season, and has only given up 12 goals this year so far. The team's 0.63 opponent scoring average ranks first in the conference and top-20 nationally. Along with his defense, Heyes has also got it done on the other side of the pitch, netting five goals, having nine shots on target, and two game-winners.

Zarius Eusebe: Eusebe earns first-team honors after earning second-team distinction last season. The senior defender propelled a Denison defense to 16 games with one goal or less, 11 of them resulting in shutouts. The senior also tallied three goals and one assist. Eusebe also ranked third on the team in shots with 30 and had nine shots on goal. In his career, Eusebe has played in 57 games, starting in 44, and has collected 24 points, including 10 goals and four assists, with three game-winning goals.

Second Team

Eli Taylor: Taylor earns second-team All-NCAC honors for the first time in his career and first time landing on an All-NCAC team. The junior ranked second on the team in goals (6) and was tied second in points with 14. It is his second-straight season scoring six or more goals, and he also had nine shots on target. Taylor is also tied for second in the conference in game-winning goals with three. Taylor helped a Big Red team average 2.37 goals per game, ranking first in the conference.

Kaden Kist: Defender Kaden Kist is the only sophomore on the Big Red to be named All-NCAC, landing second-team honors. He, along with his fellow All-NCAC teammates, formed a formidable backline that would have the defense ranked among the best in the conference. Not only was his defense remarkable, but his vision on the offensive end was impressive, leading the team and conference in assists with eight. He also added 19 shots and five on target, proving to be a threat on either end of the pitch.

Third Team 

Alex Provost: Goalkeeper Alex Provost has been named third-team All-NCAC after a stellar season in goal. The first-year led the conference in shutouts (9), goals scored (12), goals against average (.675), and save percentage (.789). Provost had 45 saves on the year and 2.37 saves per game. This marks the third consecutive season Denison has had a goalkeeper on an All-NCAC team. 

Up Next for the Big Red:

Denison will travel to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to take on Washington and Lee University in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, November 15 at 3:30 pm.
