Men's Soccer Has Two Named United Soccer All-Region
December 12, 2019 | Men's Soccer
PRINCETON – Freshman forward Walker Gillespie and junior midfielder Kevin O'Toole have been named to the 2019 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Men's All-Region team after stellar 2019 seasons for the Princeton University men's soccer team.
Gillespie was named first-team All-Northeast Region, while O'Toole was a second-team All-Region selection for the Tigers – both adding to their awards resumes following first-team All-Ivy selections in November.
Gillespie was the first Tiger freshman since Mark Linnville '13 in 2009 to earn first-team All-Ivy honors, doing so in a season that saw him score a team-best seven goals including one against No. 22 Virginia Tech as Princeton beat a top-25 team for the second straight year. Gillespie's goals came across six games, including two goals against Saint Joseph's, as he played in all 17 games and started 14 in his rookie season.
O'Toole, the 2018 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, was an All-Ivy honoree for the second time along with his 2018 first-team recognition. A year after winning that Ivy honor with four goals and three helpers, O'Toole flipped the numbers in 2019, scoring three goals and assisting on four others. His All-Region selection is the second of his career following a second-team nod in 2018.
