PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Junior forward Olakunle Banjo and freshman goalkeeper Felix Petermann of the Towson University men's soccer team were honored Thursday by the Colonial Athletic Association at the league's annual men's soccer banquet. Banjo was selected as a First Team All-CAA performer while Petermann was named to the All-Rookie team.

"It is a great reward for outstanding seasons to have Olakunle and Felix named to All-CAA teams," Towson head coach Frank Olszewski said. "It was a well deserved honor for "Kay" as a First Team representative. He is one of the top forwards in the league and the region for that matter. So, for him to be recognized with this prestigious honor is great to see. Felix proved game in and game out that he was one of the best goalkeepers in the CAA. He is a wonderfully talented competitor with a bright future. The coaching staff and entire team are proud of this recognition for these hard working student-athletes." 

Banjo is the eighth player in school history to be named to the All-CAA first team, joining current Towson assistant coach Billy Chiles, among others. Pat Healey and Sebastian Haensel each made the All-CAA first team two times.

In 2012, Banjo continued his offensive dominance with four goals and four assists for 12 points. In eight conference games, Banjo had two goals and three assists. Banjo scored the game winning goal against Mount St. Mary's in Towson's 2-1 double overtime victory, adding an assist against The Mount. He recorded his second three-point game of the season in a 3-2 win at Delaware, tallying a goal and an assist. He also led the team with 44 shots and was fifth in the CAA with 3.14 shots per game. Banjo took two or more shots in every game.

Petermann is just the second goalkeeper in school history to be named to the All-CAA Rookie Team (John Steele, 2008). A native of Berlin, Germany, Petermann led the CAA with 71 saves this season, an average of 4.44 per game. Petermann had a streak of 11 straight games with four or more saves, highlighted by his first career shutout in a 1-0 victory over Georgia State when he stopped five shots. He set a career-high with eight saves against Northeastern on Oct. 24.
