GENESEO, N.Y. - Four SUNY Geneseo Men's Soccer players earned State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) All-Conference honors, led by sophomore defender Joe Vogt who was named Fred Holloway Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
Vogt started all 18 games at center back for the Knights, leading the squad's defensive efforts. The Geneseo defense allowed just 17 goals in 18 games, including just 13 goals during the run of play. Vogt finished the season with three goals and one assist for seven points. He scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Oneonta, converting a free kick to send the squad to a win. Vogt becomes the first Geneseo player in conference history to be named the Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Year. Vogt was also named a First-Team All-SUNYAC defender.
Senior midfielder Justin Arilotta earned First Team All-SUNYAC honors for the second-consecutive year. Arilotta scored three goals and added a team-high five assists for 11 points. Arilotta scored the game-tying goal in the Knights' SUNYAC Tournament game at Brockport, converting a bicycle kick to force overtime. Arilotta becomes the first Knights to earn First Team honors in consecutive seasons since Brad Campion from 2014-16.
