Haven Men's Soccer Players Merit All-PSAC Status
Battersby Named Rookie of the Year

   
  (Lock Haven, Pa.) -  Three members of the Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania men’s soccer team were selected for All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) honors.  Freshman Andrew Battersby (Rotherham, England/Rotherham) earned additional accolades as the PSAC Rookie of the Year.
            Battersby, Rob Battisson (Leicester, England/High Wyland), and Morten Brorby (Jevnaker, Norway/Jevnaker) were all selected to the First Team All-PSAC list.
            A freshman forward, Andrew Battersby earned Rookie of the Year and First Team honors after leading The Haven in scoring with 14 goals and three assists for 31 points.  He is fourth in the PSAC in scoring (1.94/gm), and third in goals (.88/gm).  Battersby is the only freshman from the conference to earn a spot on the First Team.  It is the first time since the 1995 season that an LHU player has merited a PSAC Rookie of the Year award. 
           Junior midfielder Rob Battisson earns his second straight First Team All-PSAC recognition.  Controlling play from his center midfield position, Battisson also added a goal and three assists to the Haven offense.
           Morten Brorby, a senior defender, makes his fourth appearance on the all-conference charts, having earned Second Team honors in 1998 and 1999 before securing a First Team award last season.  An integral member of the Bald Eagle defense, Brorby helped hold opponents to only 20 total goals this season, a 1.11 per game average, and also aided in nine shutout victories.  He added four goals for eight points this season. 
          The Lock Haven men’s soccer team wrapped up the 2010 season with a 12-5-1 overall mark and a 3-4-1 record in the PSAC, narrowly missing the conference playoffs.
