At the ACC awards banquet tonight, several Terps took home honors.
Coach Dave Cottle was selected as Coach of the Year in voting by the league’s four coaches. Cottle also took home the award in 2004, making him the only ACC coach to win the award twice in the past five seasons.
Senior defender Joe Cinosky and junior midfielder Jeff Reynolds earned All-ACC honors. Cinosky has anchored the defense for the Terps, who won a pair of ACC games after being picked in the preseason to finish last in the conference. Reynolds helped his cause with a pair of hat tricks in ACC play just a season after suffering a torn ACL.
Duke’s Matt Danowski won conference player of the year for the third time, while fellow Blue Devil Mike Manly was named Rookie of the Year.
The banquet was held in conjunction with the ACC tournament, which kicks off tomorrow at Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va.
