(PRINCETON, W.Va.)---The top individual awards for the 2009-10 WVIAC men's golf season will reside at the University of Charleston. Golden Eagle junior Alex Carrigan is the league's Player of the Year, while UC head coach Will Johnson was honored by his peers as the WVIAC Coach of the Year.
Carrigan, a native of Guelph, Ontario, posted an average of 73.71 during the WVIAC's four sanctioned events. The junior claimed the individual titles at the WVIAC Central and Northern Regionals. He also posted a third-place finish at the WVIAC Championship in October.
Johnson earns his second WVIAC Coach of the Year honor after previously earning the award in 2007. The 1998 WVIAC Player of the Year is the only individual to earn the league's top coaching and playing accolades. His UC squad is currently ranked sixth in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region rankings.
Concord and Ohio Valley each produced two representatives for the seven-player All-WVIAC first team. League champion Ohio Valley was represented by J.R. Jones and Sean Burke. Concord placed Ryan Terdik and Emmanuel Charmat on the squad. Carrigan, Shepherd's Jeremy Thompson and West Virginia Wesleyan's Mike Gervais round out the first team. Carrigan, Terdik, and Jones are the repeat honorees from the 2008-09 all-conference first team.
The second team consists of Sean Stevens (Fairmont State), Joey Seabright (West Liberty), Paul Raines (Ohio Valley), Kyle Long (Concord), and Alasdair Forsythe (Davis & Elkins). Aaron Stenta (Shepherd), Nick Dent (Bluefield State), Cory Dillinger (Davis & Elkins), and Joshua Miller (Pitt Johnstown) comprise the honorable mention honorees.
