The Sea Gulls’ Kylor Berkman collected National Midfielder of the Year honors, becoming the first player to win the award three times and in three straight seasons.

Berkman separated himself from a group of two-time winners that includes Salisbury’s Andy Murray (2003-04) and Chris Turner (1999-2000), Nazareth’s Brent Rothfuss (1997-98) and Hobart’s Mark Darcangelo (1980, 1982).

Berkman, who was the Division III Player of the Year last season, ranked first among the Sea Gulls in points (83), assists (41) and man-up goals (11). He also finished third in goals (42) and fourth in ground balls (49). Berkman, who was named the Capital Athletic Conference Player of the Year for the second consecutive year, ended his career with 298 points and dished out 170 assists – both of which rank second all-time in program history.
