NSCAA All-Central Region Team
NSCAA All-Wisconsin Team

Carthage College men's soccer goalkeeper Milan Tijanic (Jr., Glenview, Ill./Park Ridge-Maine East, 1.32 goals-against average, 84 saves, 6 shutouts) and defender Zak Khoshbin (Sr., Hawthorn Woods, Ill./Lake Zurich) were named 2011 National Soccer Coaches Association of America third-team All-Central Region. 

In addition, the two were named NSCAA first-team All-Wisconsin, as was midfielder/forward Billy Hamilton (Jr., Arlington Heights, Ill./St. Viator, 4 goals, 5 assists).  Midfielder Greg Pignataro (Sr., Algonquin, Ill./Jacobs, 7 goals, 2 assists) earned second-team All-Wisconsin honors.  Forward Michael Dombrowski (Fr., Johnsburg, Ill., 10 goals) and defender Mike Heika (So., Inverness, Ill./Palatine-Fremd, 4 goals, 4 assists) were named third-team all-state.  Steve Domin was named NSCAA “Wisconsin Coach of the Year.” 

Earlier, Khoshbin was named CCIW "Men's Soccer Player of the Year," as well as CCIW/Jack Swartz all-academic.  Tijanic was named named first-team All-CCIW, while Pignataro and Dombrowski earned second-team all-conference honors.  The Red Men went 14-6-2 in 2011, won their second CCIW title, won the CCIW Men's Soccer Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship.

"As with most post-season awards,” said Domin, “it's a reflection of our team's performance, and it certainly helped that we represented the state of Wisconsin in the NCAA championship.  Both Milan and Zak had very steady years, and both are well deserving of the all-region and all-state honors.  I am truly humbled by being named the Wisconsin “Coach of Year,” particularly with the depth of schools fielding quality soccer teams in Wisconsin right now."
