BABSON PARK, Mass.—Three members of the Babson College men's soccer team were recognized for their success on the field and in the classroom when the College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced their Division III Academic All-District teams on Tuesday afternoon. 

Junior Alexander Yablonovskiy (Berkeley Heights, N.J.) received CSC Academic All-District accolades for the second time in his career, while junior Titus Charles (San Tan Valley, Ariz.) and sophomore Henry Bacon (Colchester, Vt.) were honored for the first time in their respective careers.

An Accounting major, Yablonovskiy started 17 of his 21 matches and was named to the All-New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) first team after leading the Beavers in scoring with 10 goals and four assists for 24 points. He finished third in the NEWMAC in goals and points and tied for sixth in assists. He had a two-goal performance in a regular season win over Clark and finished the season with a four-game point streak, including a goal and an assist in a NEWMAC tournament semifinal victory over Coast Guard, assists on game-winning goals in 1-0 triumphs over WPI in the NEWMAC tournament final and SUNY Oneonta in the NCAA Tournament first round, and produced Babson's only goal in a 2-1 NCAA second-round setback to No. 7 Connecticut College.

A Business major, Charles started 10 of his 21 appearances for the Beavers and earned All-NEWMAC second team honors after finishing third on the team in scoring with three goals and one assist for seven points. He assisted on Babson's only goal in a 2-1 loss to No. 13 Amherst in September, notched the game-winning goal in a 2-0 regular season victory over MIT on October 11, and scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, in a 3-0 victory over WPI on October 25.

A Finance major, Bacon started 19 of his 22 contests in a defensive midfield position for the Beaver. He played all 90 minutes in 13 matches, including all four post-season encounters, and helped a Babson defense that registered a 0.86 team goals against average, which ranked 49th in Division III. He averaged 76.5 minutes per game, helping the Beavers record seven clean sheets and concede no more than one goal in 18 of 22 matches.

Babson finished its season with an 11-7-4 overall record and a 4-2-2 mark in the NEWMAC. The Beavers captured their second straight conference tournament championship and defeated SUNY Oneonta in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament before being eliminated by No. 7 Connecticut College in the second round, 2-1.

Since 1952, CSC has honored more than 40,000 outstanding student-athletes across the NCAA. To be eligible, a student-athlete maintain a GPA of 3.50 on a 4.0 scale and must compete in 90 percent of the institution's games or must start in at least 66 percent of the contests.
