WILMINGTON, N.C. - UNC Wilmington head men's soccer coach Aidan Heaney was named 2009 Colonial Athletic Association Coach-of-the-Year for the second time in as many years, and third time overall, while five Seahawks earned All-CAA honors.

Earning All-CAA honors were junior Indy Smith (First-team), senior David Acosta (Second-team), Brock Duckworth (Second-team) and junior Daniel Roberts (Third-team). Freshman Etienne Boulanger was named to the All-Rookie squad.

In addition to Heaney being named Coach-of-the-Year at the league's Awards Banquet on Thursday, William & Mary's Andrew Hoxie was honored as CAA Player-of-the-Year, Hofstra's Richard Marinez was named Defensive Player-of-the-Year and Northeastern's Don Anding was tabbed as the league's Rookie-of-the-Year.

After being picked fourth in the preseason coaches' poll, Heaney and his Seahawks fashioned an unbeaten season at 8-0-3 and captured their second straight regular season conference title. UNCW set program records with eight wins and 27 points overall. The Seahawks also returned to the national scene, jumping back into the national rankings for the first time since 2005. UNCW is ranked 22nd in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America, released on Nov. 10. UNCW is also ranked 22nd in the Collegesoccernew.com poll and 24th in the Soccer Times poll.

Indy Smith earned his second straight first-team all-conference honor after leading the top defensive unit in the conference. Joining Smith on the Seahawks backline is David Acosta, who earned his first collegiate honor. The Seahawks enter the conference tournament leading the 12-team circuit in fewest goals allowed (12), goals against average (0.62) and tied for the lead with nine shutouts. Nationally, UNCW ranks 12th in goals against average and 16th in shutout percentage (0.50).

Brock Duckworth rode a career season for his all-conference honor. Duckworth enters the weekend's tournament leading the nation in save percentage (.885) and is ranked 10th with a 0.62 goals against average. Duckworth has recorded six shutouts, tying his career-high set last season as a sophomore.

Daniel Roberts was named to the third-team after tying his career-high with three goals from his central midfield position. Roberts ran the Seahawk offense from that position and ranked second with four assists.

Rounding out UNCW all-conference honorees was Etienne Boulanger, who tied for the team lead with five goals. Boulanger notched a pair of game-winning goals against Alabama A&M and VCU and closed out the regular season with a two-goal outing against Drexel.

The Seahawks look to extend their season this weekend when hosting the championship tournament. UNCW, the number one seed, takes on fourth-seed Old Dominion at 7:30 p.m., on Friday at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.
