FOUR TIGERS NAMED TO COSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT MEN’S SOCCER TEAM

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The Olivet Nazarene University men's soccer team had four student-athletes named to the 2022 Academic All-District Men's Soccer Team, as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The honor recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in athletic competition and in the classroom. Nominees must be starters or important reserves, sophomores or older, with at least 3.30 cumulative grade point averages. 

The back-to-back CCAC regular season and tournament champions produced four CoSIDA Academic All-District members: Justin Eisenmann, Fabio Hasler, Nick Kilian, and Konstantin Papanikolaou

Eisenmann is coming off one of the most prolific seasons in school history. He led the conference in all four of the major offensive categories: goals (13), assists (12), points (38), and game-winning goals (5). Eisenmann was named the CCAC Player of the Year for his efforts, the first Tiger to receive the honor since 2016. The junior forward from Breuningsweiler, Germany is working on his degree in Sport Management.

Hasler, a sophomore defenseman from Frauenfeld, Switzerland, was named to the all-CCAC first team for his work on ONU's back line. He netted five goals and assisted on five more this year and helped the team qualify for the NAIA National Tournament. Hasler is majoring in Chemistry.  

Kilian earned first-team all-CCAC honors as a defenseman for the Tigers after tabbing three goals and eight assists this season. He currently sits second all-time in program history for career assists with 30. The junior from Stahnsdorf, Germany is majoring in Business Administration.

Papanikolaou, a sophomore forward from Vienna, Austria, scored the second-most goals in the CCAC this season to help the Tigers win their second-consecutive CCAC double. He scored six goals in a three-game stretch, including a hat trick in the CCAC Quarterfinals against Saint Xavier. Papanikolaou is currently working on his degree in International Business.
