Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green men's soccer player Tony Malik was honored recently by the Great Lakes Region and Ohio Colleges for his performance during his senior season. He was selected third-team All-Great Lakes Region and first-team All-Ohio. This marked the first time Malik was named to either the All-District or All-Ohio teams. Both teams were voted on by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
The defender helped lead a Falcon defense that allowed just 18 goals in 17 games (1.1 per game), including eight in the last 10 games. He also chipped in two goals and one assist. Malik was named to the Mid-American Conference First Team and to the MAC All-Tournament team in November, as well as serving as assistant captain on the 2001 squad.
Fellow senior Detrick Matthews was a member of the second team as a forward on the All-Ohio team. Matthews led the Falcons in scoring with a career-high six goals and 13 points. He also had three game-winning goals.
This marks the eighth-straight season that at least one Falcon has been named to the All-Great Lakes Region team and the 39th season at least one Bowling Green player has been named to the All-Ohio team.
