The conference office also released the 2009 First and Second All-A.I.I. Conference men's soccer teams.

A senior on the Clan, Streckmann finished the regular season with eight goals and seven assists, and helped Simon Fraser to the 2009 Association of Independent Institutions Championship by scoring the game winning penalty kick goal in the Clan's opening round 1-0 over Ohio Dominican.

Currently in his second season at the helm of the Clan, Koch coached his team to a 15-3 regular season record, an A.I.I. Championship, and a 1-0 victory in the opening round of the NAIA Men's Soccer National Championship. Simon Fraser is in action next Tuesday in the Sweet Sixteen round of the NAIA Championship against defending champion Bethel.
