ORLANDO, Fla. - Lynn University men's soccer earned three All-Sunshine State Conference honors, highlighted by Robin Muenst being named SSC Midfielder of the Year and Joao Silva earning SSC Defender of the Year, as announced by the conference office Wednesday. Both Fighting Knights also earned All-SSC First Team recognition, while senior Fabian Vyhnalek was selected to the All-SSC Third Team.

Muenst, a senior midfielder from Stuttgart, Germany, earned the conference's top midfield honor following another standout campaign for the Blue and White. He started all 15 matches, leading Lynn with eight goals, six assists and 22 points while recording 36 shots, including 17 on goal.

The senior opened the season with a five-point performance against Mississippi College, scoring twice and adding an assist in Lynn's 3-2 victory. He followed with goals against Florida Southern and Eckerd before delivering his second two-goal performance of the season in a 2-2 draw against Saint Leo on Oct. 10.

Muenst continued his offensive success down the stretch, scoring in consecutive matches against Palm Beach Atlantic and Embry-Riddle before adding an assist in Lynn's 3-1 Senior Day victory over Tampa. He finished the campaign with six assists, tied for the team lead, and recorded at least one point in 11 of his 15 appearances.

The recognition adds to an impressive two-year career at Lynn for Muenst, who has totaled 16 goals, 14 assists and 46 points in 31 matches. He has started every match during his Fighting Knights career, recording eight goals in each of his two seasons.

Silva, a junior defender from Porto, Portugal, was named SSC Defender of the Year and earned First Team honors following an outstanding season on both ends of the field.

Starting all 15 matches and logging a team-high 1,343 minutes, Silva anchored Lynn's defensive unit while emerging as one of the Fighting Knights' most productive offensive contributors. He finished third on the team with five goals and 12 points, adding two assists while placing eight of his 14 shots on goal.

Silva delivered his most impressive offensive performance against Nova Southeastern on Sept. 16, scoring twice and adding an assist for five points in Lynn's 3-2 conference-opening victory. He followed with goals against Florida Tech and Rollins before scoring the eventual game-winner in the Fighting Knights' 3-1 victory over Tampa on Oct. 28.

The junior helped Lynn limit opponents to 17 goals across 15 matches while contributing to a defensive unit that recorded shutout victories over Rollins, Palm Beach Atlantic and Barry.

Rounding out Lynn's honorees, Vyhnalek earned All-SSC Third Team recognition following a strong senior campaign in the midfield.

A native of Weitersfeld, Austria, Vyhnalek started all 13 matches in which he appeared, finishing with one goal, four assists and six points while logging 1,164 minutes.

The senior opened conference play with a two-assist performance in Lynn's 3-2 victory over Nova Southeastern before adding another assist in a 3-0 shutout of Rollins. He scored his first goal of the season just 4:41 into the Fighting Knights' 2-0 victory over Palm Beach Atlantic on Oct. 21 and contributed another assist against Tampa in the regular-season finale.

Vyhnalek concludes his four-year career with the Fighting Knights having appeared in 64 matches, making 61 starts while totaling nine goals, 27 assists and 45 points.

The three All-SSC selections helped Lynn compile a 5-3-6 regular-season record before advancing to the Sunshine State Conference Tournament, where the Fighting Knights earned a 2-0 victory over Barry on Nov. 2.
