Complete Atlantic Sun All-Conference Team | PDF
MACON, Ga. – Head men's soccer coach Derek Marinatos was named the 2015 Atlantic Sun Conference co-Coach of the Year as announced the league office Wednesday. In addition, a school-record, eight players garnered All-Conference honors.

In his fifth season, Marinatos guided the Ospreys to a share of their first ever Atlantic Sun Regular Season Championship after a 4-0-1 record in league play. Under Marinatos the Ospreys will make their third-straight postseason appearance including the last two Atlantic Sun Conference Championship games. North Florida has finished with a .500 or better record in the past three seasons, which previously hadn't been done since 2003.

"I'm extremely thankful to receive the award and see it as an honor for our coaching staff, Josh (Dunn) and Andy (Barth) who work tirelessly day in and day out," said Marinatos. "The program continues to set new standards and its great to see the guys get these type of awards for their work on and off the field."

The Ospreys continue to raise the bar with a program-best, seven all-conference selections. Marinatos' 2014 team previously set the mark with five all-league honorees. Ivan Castro becomes the fifth Osprey to take home All-Freshmen team honors since 2012.

First Team All-Conference
D - Jay Bolt – Jacksonville, Fla. 
The junior was one of four unanimous selections and his third All-Conference selection in three seasons. He started 11 of the 13 games in which he appeared, recording two assists. He was integral in an Osprey defense that allowed only one goal in five conference games.

M – Alex Morrell – Lakeland, Fla. 
The junior is the second of two unanimous selections for the Ospreys after he led the team in points with 10 (2 g, 4a). He netted the game-winner against USC Upstate in the season finale and three of his four assists came against league opponents this season. The All-Conference honor is the third of his career.

F – Helge Pietschmann – Hannover, Germany
The senior caps off his second year as an Osprey with his second-straight, First Team All-Conference honor. He tied for the team lead with four goals in 2015 with two of them proving to be game-winners.

Second Team All-Conference
GK – Kyle Nasta – Jacksonville, Fla.
The 2014 Atlantic Sun Goalkeeper of the Year collected his second-straight All-Conference honor. All four of his shutouts this season came against conference opponents and he finished the year with just one goal allowed in the last five games. He is the school's all-time leader in wins and has the second-most saves in program history.

D – Simen Solstad – Baerum, Norway
The junior played in all but one game for the Ospreys historic regular season. He was named to the UNCW Courtyard by Marriott Wrightsville Beach Classic All-Tournament Team earlier this season. His four assists are tied for the second most in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

M – Joshua Castellanos – Ponte Vedra, Fla.
The sophomore transfer has come in and made an immediate impact on the Ospreys midfield. He has tallied three goals and an assist this season including the game-winner against Lipscomb on Oct. 3.

F – Milan Kovacs – Bonyhad, Hungary
The junior is recognized for the first time in his career as a Second Team All-Conference honoree. He started all 15 games for the Ospreys and is tied for the team lead in goals with four. He was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week on Oct. 19 after scoring the game-winner against Stetson.

All-Freshmen Team
M – Ivan Castro, Plant City, Fla. 
The true freshman worked his way into the lineup, appearing in all 15 games and starting eight of the last nine to close the year. He had his best game with a goal and an assist against UNC Greensboro on Sept. 18. He also assisted the game-winner against USC Upstate in the regular season finale.
