WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Monmouth University men's soccer defender Gabe Dahlin earned First Team All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) honors after his strong performance this fall. 
 
He was honored by the ECAC for the first time in his career.
 
Dahlin earned the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Defender of the Year award earlier this fall in addition to being named First Team All-CAA. 
 
When Dahlin earned the Defender of the Year award, it was the ninth time in program history that a Hawk had earned that award and the first time since George Akampeke in 2020. He earned First Team honors for the second straight year. 
 
Dahlin keyed a backline that had eight shutouts and held 13 opponents to one goal or less. 
 
His ability to push up into the midfield led to him recording a goal and two assists this season. Dahlin scored the game-tying goal at Campbell and picked up an assist as the Hawks beat Penn to record their second win over a Top 12 team this season.
