SYDNEY, N.S. —

Two Cape Breton Capers men’s soccer players captured top honours in the Atlantic University Sport on Wednesday.

Fourth-year defender Peter Schaale of Bernkastel-Kues, Germany, took home his second consecutive AUS most valuable player award, while Isaiah Johnston of Milton, Ont., was named the rookie of the year.

Schaale recorded two goals on the season, including netting a game-tying goal in Cape Breton’s final regular season game against Moncton to keep the club’s undefeated season alive. Johnston had a goal and three assists in his rookie season.

Schaale was also named to the AUS first all-star team along with fellow Caper Cory Bent.

Capers players Caelan Budhoo, Marcus Campanile and Charlie Waters were named to the second-team all-star team.

Other major award winners saw Gracious Keskeke of the Dalhousie Tigers win the Student-athlete Community Service Award, while Pat Nearing of the Dalhousie, who has connections to New Waterford and Glace Bay, was named the coach of the year.
