Galesburg, IL – The Midwest Conference has named two Prairie Fire men's soccer players all-league selections.

The MWC on November 20 announced its all-conference teams.  Sophomore forward Nathaniel Logie (Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Queens Royal College) and sophomore defender Charles Edemba (Abia, Nigeria, Santana Rhetoric Institute) are both All-MWC first team picks.

Logie and Edemba helped lead Knox to a school-record 13 victories, including a 6-4 mark in conference matches, and the program's first appearance in the Midwest Conference Tournament.  The Prairie Fire finished fourth in the MWC, far exceeding the prediction of a ninth place finish in the 2013 Midwest Conference Preseason Coaches' Poll.

Logie and Edemba are the first all-conference men's soccer players from Knox since Jeff Wozencraft received the honor as a midfielder his senior year in 2009.  The last Knox men's soccer first team All-MWC recipient was Kyle Firebaugh, a senior midfielder in 2000.

An offensive force, Logie started all 19 of the Prairie Fire's matches.  He set new school records for goals scored in a season (16), game-winning goals (5), goals per game (0.84), points (37), and points per game (1.95).  Logie ranked second in the Midwest Conference in all five of those offensive categories.

Edemba has started each of the 36 matches played by Knox the past two seasons.  He was a key contributor to the Prairie Fire defense that recorded a school-record nine shutouts and allowed only 20 goals in 19 contests compared to 31 goals in 17 matches the previous season.

In addition to his outstanding defense, Edemba scored two goals and had two assists.

Knox led the Midwest Conference in 15 individual and team categories combined.

The Prairie Fire had the top offense with 56 goals, 42 assists, and 154 points – all new school records.  The squad ranked 14th in the nation with its per game averages of 2.95 goals and 8.11 points while ranking 18th in NCAA Division III with 2.21 assists per game and 56 goals scored.
