GRINNELL, Iowa – The 2021 Midwest Conference (MWC) Men's Soccer All-Conference Teams and individual award winners were announced Thursday.
 
Tournament and regular season champion Knox College led all teams with five All-Conference selections. The Prairie Fire had four First Team selections led by seniors Raleigh Berry, Lucas Piqueras, and Martin Garcia, and sophomore Nicolas Lantzendorffer. Sophomore Alex White represented Knox on Second Team.
 
Berry, Piqueras, and Lantzendorffer anchored a Knox defense that only allowed 1.11 goals against per game, including just .75 goals against per game in league play. The defense allowed only six goals in conference all season while finishing 7-1 in league play.
