GOSHEN — Jesse Ramer was named Northern Indiana Soccer Conference player of the year for the 2009 season, Bleeding Bruin Blue has learned.

Nafziger, Aaron Stiffney, and Femi Hollinger-Janzen. Senior Seth Kauffman and junior Ben Bontreger are Bethany's representatives on the all-conference second team.
