INDIANAPOLIS – Jan Fulnek was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Year, highlighting four All-GLVC selections for Maryville men's soccer as the league announced its postseason awards Wednesday.
 
Julian Stoecker earned first-team recognition, while Fulnek, Axton Anom and Yayo Mutombo received third-team honors. Anom also was selected as Maryville's GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award honoree.
 
Fulnek becomes the second Saint to earn GLVC Defensive Player of the Year honors, joining Iwan Webster, who received the award in 2019.
 
Fulnek has started all 18 of his appearances, logging 1,272 minutes while contributing two goals and four assists for eight points. His four assists are tied for second on the team.
 
Stoecker has started all 19 matches and logged 1,622 minutes. The graduate student has recorded three goals and two assists for eight points, converting all three of his penalty kick attempts and adding a game-winning goal.
 
Anom has tallied three goals and two assists for eight points across 15 appearances, including eight starts. The senior has scored two game-winning goals, tying for the team lead.
 
Mutombo has appeared in all 19 matches, making 18 starts while recording three goals and three assists for nine points. The senior leads Maryville with 32 shots and 17 shots on goal and shares the team lead with two game-winning goals.
 
Anom's sportsmanship recognition honors student-athletes who demonstrate sportsmanship, ethical behavior, good academic standing and citizenship outside competition. He is now eligible for one of Maryville's two GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Awards presented at the conclusion of the academic year.
 
All-GLVC selections and major awards are determined by a vote of the conference's head coaches, who cannot vote for their own players.
