Edens Chery's final season was his best for the men's soccer team at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
With seven goals and five assists, the Brockton High product netted a career-high 19 points in Lowell's 12-4-4 campaign.
On Monday, Chery was named to Division 2 All-America second team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. He and teammate Matias Pietropinto of Leominster, a first-team selection, became the first players from UMass-Lowell to earn such an honor since 2004.
"As a Massachusetts state university, it is especially satisfying to see two products of Massachusetts Youth Soccer win this award," UMass-Lowell coach Ted Priestly said in a release. "They are two ideal reflections of our program: We believe in Massachusetts and in Massachusetts soccer players, and we look forward to continuing to build a proud, winning tradition with Massachusetts players."
The 5-foot-7, 150-pound midfielder was one of just two seniors on the River Hawks' roster. UML finished with a 10-2-1 Northeast-10 Conference record, second to Franklin Pierce, the eventual national champion.
UMass-Lowell qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the third time in five seasons, losing to Franklin Pierce, 3-1, in the regional final.
Priestly said he would not be surprised to see Chery continue playing soccer.
"I look forward to seeing where Edens ends up playing next year," Priestly said. "He will be involved in the Haitian National Team in the coming months, and there have been a number of inquiries about him" from Major League Soccer clubs. "Given his age [21] and his ability, he will make an ideal MLS developmental player."
A sophomore midfielder, McManus was selected to the second team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and the New England Women's Intercollegiate Soccer Association.
McManus scored six goals and had two assists in Wheaton's 22-1-1 season.
The Lyons suffered their first loss of the season in the second round of the NCAA Division 3 tournament, falling to Ithaca College, 1-0.
It was the first goal allowed by Wheaton in four playoff games.
Douglas, a junior, won a class of open over fences and open on the flat in a home show at the Elsa Gunnison Appleton Riding Hall on Dec. 8. The Saints finished first in the event with 46 points.
Douglas opened up the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association season in October by earning high point rider honors at the RIT show at Lehman Farm in New York, winning the open equitation over fences and the open equitation on the flat. The Saints were second in the event to Cazenovia College, 39-38.
The Saints may be off to a hot start, but they will have to wait until March before competition resumes.
In May, Douglas became the Reserve National Champion in the open equitation over fences at the IHSA national championships.
The Bantams were led by coach 17-year coach Bill Detrick. The Bantams finished 18th in the New England Intercollegiate Golf Association Championships, but was sixth among Division 3 programs.
