Ethan Ogden,
Jackson Terry,
Derrick Harris, and
Cade Wurstner would all represent the Comets in receiving recognition.
Winning both Goalkeeper of the Year and first team All-OAC honors was senior
Ethan Ogden. He is the first Comet to win Goalkeeper of the year since Justin Niswonger in 2017. Ogden started 13 games in net for Capital this season, recording a career high 63 saves for a percentage of .716. He had a career high 10 saves against Otterbein on Oct. 25. Ogden concludes his collegiate career with 164 saves.
Taking home second team All-OAC honors as a defender was
Jackson Terry. The junior appeared and started in all 17 games for the Comets this season. His physical play on the backline led Capital to two defensive shutouts on the year. Along with his great play on the defensive end, he also finished with three assists.
Also receiving second team honors was forward
Derrick Harris. After reaching the midway point of the season without recording a goal, the senior would catch fire in conference play, scoring seven goals in the last seven games of the season. During this stretch he would go back-to-back games with two goals scored. With the late season push, Harris would end the season tied for the team lead in goals with teammate
Christian Monzalvo.
Lastly,
Cade Wurstner would also receive second team honors as a midfielder. The junior was a staple in the middle of the field for the Comets, making contributions on both defense and offense. He would be a part of two defensive shutouts, along with recording two goals and five assists. He would have the second highest assist total on the team, just one behind teammate
Wassim Metatla.
