Stout, a senior goalkeeper from Pataskala, Ohio, was named to the NAIA All-American Third Team as he became only the third player in program history to make one of the three NAIA All-American Teams joining Zach Patterson (First Team) and Adam Worrall (Third Team) who were both honored last year. The former Watkins Memorial High School star capped off a stellar career by posting a 0.77 goals against average and tying his own school record with 14 shutouts in 2009. Stout finishes his career with a school-record 40 shutouts and a program-best 0.90 goals against average.

Jackson, a junior defender from St. Catherine, Jamaica, was selected as an NAIA Honorable Mention All-American as he became only the third player in school history to receive this honor as he joined Matt Salisbury (1999) and Josh Robson (1999 and 2000). The former Wolmers High School standout helped anchor the back line that posted a school-record 16 shutouts this season, and he also recorded four goals and two assists. Jackson now has seven goals and four assists in his career.

The Cougars finished the 2009 season with a 17-7-2 overall record and advanced to the championship match of the American Mideast Conference Tournament for the second straight year.
