Addington, Chew, Kiser, O'Keefe Take All-GSAC Honors

For the second straight season four Eagles earn all-conference nods.

JT Addington, Daniel Chew, Kevin Kiser, Joey O'Keefe earned All-GSAC nods.
LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Four Eagles were named to the All-Golden State Athletic Conference team on Tuesday after Biola completed its best season in program history, compiling 13 regular season wins and a .794 winning percentage.
 
Biola went 7-3 in conference play, winning their final five conference matches via shutout after starting 2-3 against GSAC opponents. Kevin Kiser led the way with his second all-conference nod and JT Addington, Daniel Chew and Joey O'Keefe each earned their first career honor.
 
Kiser stepped up to the plate to lead the Biola defense after his fellow starting defender Joao Toscan went down in just the fourth match of the season. Kiser anchored a back line that led the GSAC with just 12 goals allowed in their 17 matches. Kiser started all 17 games for the Eagles as he led them to a second place finish in the conference. He is the 10th player in Biola history to earn multiple all-conference honors.
 
Addington started all 17 games for Biola, logging over 1,550 minutes between the pipes and recording a conference-best 10 shutouts over the course of the season. The sophomore keeper was second in the conference and sixth in the NAIA in goals against average (0.69) and second in conference in save percentage (.778). Addington earned one nod as GSAC defensive player of the week after picking up shutouts against Hope International and eventual conference champion Concordia.
 
Chew, a senior forward from Lake Forest, Calif. paced BU's offense all season long, scoring 15 goals on the season, second best in conference. He had three multi-goal games, including a hat trick against Westmont Oct. 12. He also added an assist to total 31 points for the Eagles, third most in the GSAC. Chew ranked in the top 50 in the NAIA in goals, goals per game, points and game-winners.
 
Joey O'Keefe, a sophomore midfielder out of Victorville, Calif. came on strongest at the end of the season as a number two scoring option after Chew. He scored five goals in the final four games to up his season total to eight, second on the squad and tied for fourth in the GSAC. He also had three game-winners, 50th in the NAIA. O'Keefe also had three multi-goal games, including two-goal performances against Westminster, Hope International and Arizona Christian. O'Keefe added one GSAC offensive player of the week after scoring three goals in a two win week ending Oct. 27.
 
Adrian Padilla of Concordia won the conference player of the year award and Chris Gould, CUI's head coach, took home the coach of the year honor. All GSAC men's soccer postseason honors are presented by Under Armour.
 
Biola's second place finish in conference locked in their number two seed for the conference tournament. They earned a first round bye and host a semifinal game Saturday night at 7 p.m.
