Brookville, NY| Five members of the LIU Post men's soccer team appeared on the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association All-East Region Teams, where were revealed on Wednesday morning.

LIU Post placed two members in the All-East Region First-Team, the most in the ECC, which featured graduate student Lukas Ostermann and Johan Maurtizson.

Ostermann, who was named ECC Rookie of the Year, received First-Team nods after an impressive rookie campaign. The center forward is top-ten in the nation with 17 goals, compiled six assists, and is sixth in the nation with 40 points on the year. Ostermann's rookie season culminated with six goals over the Pioneers' final two regular season games, earning him the United Soccer Coaches Division II National Player of the Week honor.

Maurtizson, the ECC Defensive Player of the Year, receives All-East First-Team nods for his efforts on defense. The center back captained a back-line that ranks second in the ECC with 15 goals allowed and 0.86 goals against average. Mauritzson's performance also helped LIU Post shut out seven opponents on the season, two of which came in back-to-back victories in the East Coast Conference Championship.

Appearing on the Second-Team were juniors Oliver Hessner Hansen, Charlie Ledula, and senior Harry Pearse.

In his first season with the Pioneers, the 2017 ECC Goalkeeper of the Year, Hessner Hansen has compiled a 14-0-2 record in net, so far. The junior transfer made 74 saves on the year, good for an ECC-leading .831 save percentage. His save percentage was also ranked No. 9 in all of Division II.  Also, Hessner Hansen is first in the ECC with 0.86 goals against average.

Ledula, the 2016 D2CCA East Region Player of the Year, claims Second-Team nods after scoring 13 of LIU Post's 53 goals of the season. The ECC First-Team All-Conference member is fourth in the conference in goals and points (27).

A former D2CCA All-East Region First Team, Pearse earns an All-East nod for the second time in his career following his final collegiate season. Playing mostly as a holding midfielder, Pearse, the workhorse of the team, is currently first on the team in assists (11), third on the team in goals (5) and points (21).

The Pioneers are back in action Thursday (Nov. 16), when they face No. 15 and second-seeded Adelphi University in the third round of the NCAA Division II Championship. The opening kick is set for 7 p.m.
