WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Monmouth University head men's soccer coach Robert McCourt and senior standout Ryan Kinne (Naugatuck, Conn. /Naugatuck) were named the Big Apple Soccer College Coach and Player of the Year, respectively, the organization announced on Monday.

McCourt, who also earned NSCAA/Mondo North Atlantic Regional Coach of the Year, led MU to a 14-2-4 record in 2010, claiming the program's sixth straight Northeast Conference Regular Season Title and second straight league tournament crown. The Hawks also hosted their second straight NCAA Tournament First Round match this season.

Kinne, who was selected by the New England Revolution with the sixth pick in the third round, the 42nd overall selection, of the 2011 Major League Soccer SuperDraft, also adds to his long line of collegiate achievements.

He became the first Hawk ever to earn back-to-back NSCAA First Team All-American honors, earned his second straight Northeast Conference Player of the Year award this season, and was one of only two repeat selections among the 15 men's semifinalists for the highest individual award in men's collegiate soccer, the Hermann Trophy. He also earned his third straight all-region first team honor earlier this week.

Kinne was the Hawks' most consistent and dynamic offensive force this season, leading the team in goals (12), points (29) and game-winning goals (4), while tying for the team-lead with five assists. The senior captain, who was ranked in the top-10 nationally in most major offensive categories all season, was also a three-time first-team all-league member.

McCourt and Kinne helped lead Monmouth to four straight Northeast Conference Regular Season Titles and back-to-back league tournament crowns. This past season, the duo also helped the Hawks stay in the NSCAA National Rankings all season long.
