Six Cougars Named All-GLVC
          Six Southern Illinois University Edwardsville men's soccer players were honored Friday as members of the All-Great Lakes Valley Conference team.
          The Cougars, 14-2-2 in the regular season, grabbed three spots on the first team and three more on the second team.
          SIUE forward Pete Cacciatore (St. Louis), midfielder Brian Higgins (St. Louis) and Michael Burgund (Bethalto) were selected to the first team. Mike Banner (Upper Marlboro, Md.), John Matthews (Edwardsville) and Kevin Thibodeau (St. Charles, Mo.) were named to the second team.
          The Cougars extended their streak of games without a loss during the regular season to 21 in 2004 with an 8-0-2 record. The team's strength lies in its depth. Five players lead the team with five goals each. The Cougars have outscored their opponents this season 41-10.
          The Player of the Year and the Coach of the Year were not released on Friday due to a tie in the voting. They will be released next week.
