Westfield, Mass. —  For the third time, Framingham State’s Bryce Nardizzi and Salem State’s Patrick Filetti are named the MASCAC Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year. The duo headlines the 2022 All-Conference team as voted on by the coaches from around the conference.
 
Nardizzi, a graduate student from Framingham, Mass., earned his third MASCAC Offensive Player of the Year and All-Conference accolades after finishing first in the conference in goals (15), assists (eight) and points (38) to lead the Rams to a 6-0-1 conference record and regular season title. He also was a perfect 3-for-3 on penalty kicks and found the back of the net on three game-winners. He finished his career with the Rams fifth all-time in school history in total points at 104. 
 
Filetti, a three-time first team selection, was once again named the league’s best defender as the Vikings went 5-1-1 during league play to earn the second seed in the tournament. As captain and leader of the Vikings’ defense, Salem State allowed just five goals to conference opponents in 2022, which included a 0.71 goals against average. The Vikings have gone 18-1-2 in the regular season during Filetti’s career. 
 
Gustav Hemmingsen of Framingham State earned 2022 MASCAC Rookie of the Year honors. The freshman forward from Copenhagen, Denmark netted six goals and four assists for 16 points, including one game-winning goal this season. His best outing came in the season-opening tie with UMass Dartmouth where he found the back of the net twice. 
 
After leading his team to the 2022 MASCAC Regular Season and Tournament titles, Dean Nichols of Framingham State was voted as the 2022 BSN Sports Men’s Soccer Coach of the Year by his peers. 
 
Joining Nardizzi, Filetti and Hemmingsen on the 2022 MASCAC First Team is Nicolas Matias of Bridgewater State, Lachlan Forgan and Kunphel Sinha of Framingham State, Brendan Davis, Matt Hauntsman and Dylan Senra of Salem State and Matt Alzamora and Manny Ramirez of Worcester State.
