CHICAGO, IL (November 17, 2005) - The North Park men's soccer team was honored
with Coach of the Year and Player of the Year awards by the College
Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW). In addition, five players
were named to first team all conference, and a sixth Viking player was
named to the second team.
John Born (see photo) was named Coach of the Year for the second
straight season, and junior goalie Austin Person was named Player of the
Year as well as being named all conference, first team. Person is the
first Viking to ever receive the Player of the Year honor. Also named to
the first team were seniors Darryl Payne and James Rose, as well as
junior Adam Sinovic, and sophomore P. J. Sinovic. Sinovic was named
Player of the Week twice during the season. Sophomore Matt Bond was

The Vikings captured their second straight CCIW title and advanced to

finished the season with a conference record of 7-1-1 and 11-7-1 overall.
"I am really proud of our entire team," says Born. This year's team was
blessed with solid leadership, which made my job a lot easier. The
seniors and the team leaders were always pushing the team forward and
they should be given a great deal of credit for our success."
