Men's soccer sees six named to All-OAC teams

WESTERVILLE – Six members of the Otterbein University men's soccer team were named to All-OAC teams, as announced Wednesday morning.

Nate Werthmuller was Otterbein's lone selection on the First Team. At the end of the regular season, Werthmuller was the leading scorer for the Cardinals, tallying four goals and five assists, with all four goals coming in conference action. Making an immediate impact after transferring in this season, three of his goal goals were game-winners.

On the Second Team, the Cardinals saw Josh Lord, Alex Greene and Luke Butzier recognized.

Lord totaled three goals and a pair of assists at the end of the regular season – all coming within OAC action. Greene and Butzier have been solid pieces of the back line all season long, starting as Otterbein's outside backs. This is Greene's second career All-OAC honor, while Butzier and Lord earned their first.

Sophomores Lincoln Wallace and Jayden Burdine rounded out the selections being Third Team honorees. Wallace finished out the regular season with four goals and three assists. In yesterday's OAC Quarterfinal game, Wallace played a part in both goals, scoring the first and assisting on the second. Burdine concluded OAC play with a 5-2-1 record and 17 saves, posting an 11-3-2 overall record and allowing just 14 goals this season,

The Otterbein men's soccer team heads to No. 2 seed Ohio Northern on Thursday to take on the Polar Bears in the OAC Semifinals. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.
