The USILA All-American Teams were released for Divisions II and III today, with the Division III team featuring one WNEC player, goalkeeper Brewster Knowlton, who was named an honorable mention. Knowlton, a junior from Somers, CT, is currently in his third year as a starter for the Golden Bears, and had his best year yet in 2011. Knowlton started in 20 of the 21 games played this year, allowing 147 goals on 625 shots faced, a 7.66 GAA and also posted a .606 save percentage. His 2011 campaign garnered several accolades, which aside from the All-American Honorable mention included the TCCC Defensive Player of the Year, All-TCCC team, All-New England team, and was named to the Capital one District 1 Academic second team for his accomplishments in the classroom. Knowlton was also named TCCC Defensive Player of the Week earlier in the season, the second time he received such an honor in his career. In his three years in the WNEC net, he has posted a 43-13 record with 561 saves (.600 save PCT) in 56 career games, all of them starts.
