Washington, D.C. – Senior Kyrese Lynch-Bailey was named to the Atlantic 10 First-Team All-Conference, with teammate junior Gabe Faust named to the A10 Second-Team All-Conference and All-Academic teams, announced by the conference Tuesday. The conference's 13 head coaches selected the six major awards, All-Conference Teams, All-Rookie Team, and All-Academic Team based on regular season performance.

Lynch-Bailey earns his All-Conference nomination after setting career-highs in almost every category. The Brampton, Ontario, Canada native tied the team leader for games played with 17 as well as games started with 16. He was one of six players to record over 1,000 minutes, playing 1,066 for the Blue & Gold this season. He was also tied for second in the goals column with six, tied for fourth in assists with two, and tied for first in points with 14. His 37 shots earned him third on the team, and was 4th in shots on goal with 13. Lynch-Bailey has recorded at least two shots in each the last ten games this season. Lynch-Bailey's brace at home against Duquesne on October 31 sent the Explorers to the A10 postseason for the third consecutive season, and earned him A10 Offensive Player of the Week and Philly Soccer Six Player of the Week honors to finish the season.

Faust secures his All-Conference and All-Academic nominations in his first season for the Explorers. The Cherry Hill, N.J. native earned the first Philly Soccer Six Player of the Week award for the season in August after scoring a goal in the season opener at Lehigh August 21 and for scoring against FDU on August 24. Faust tied for second in games played with 16, having started 12 and recording 873 minutes this season. He led the team in goals with seven, scoring four of them in the first three games and six in the first six games. Faust scored a brace against Keystone on August 29, and has recorded a shot in each game this season. Faust tied for first in points with 14, and led the team in shots 44 and shots on goal, with 44 and 21, respectively. Faust, a Business Administration major, also earned a 3.94 GPA this semester to earn him All-Academic team honors.
