Mount St. Mary's redshirt junior midfielder Bubba Johnson was selected to the Northeast Conference (NEC) first team Wednesday night.

Johnson, who finished the season tied for second on the Mountaineers (6-8 overall and 2-4 in the league) in assists with nine and third in goals with 16, is the first player from the program to earn NEC first-team honors since attackmen Andrew Scalley and Brett Schmidt in 2013. Johnson started the first three games of the season on attack before moving permanently to the midfield.

St. Joseph's senior midfielder Kevin Forster, a transfer from Maryland, made the first team. Bryant senior goalkeeper Gunnar Waldt (St. Paul's) was placed on the second team.
