Four Cadets earned spots on the Second Team -- Collin Grosse, Drew Dunham, Maxwell Sackett, and Jason Green.
"We're proud of the hard work of all of these players have put in to earn recognition for their performances this fall, and to their teammates who helped put them in a position to be successful," said head coach Matt Sherman. "Additionally, we'd like to congratulate all the award winners throughout Rugby East for their performances this fall and making Rugby East one of the most competitive, high performing, and challenging conferences in the country."
Carrabotta paced the Black Knights throughout the fall season, finishing with a team leading 11 tries. The Chester, Va. native's 55 points also led the team.
Haug, Sackett, and Green all finished the fall with one try respectively. Grosse and Dunham both dotted three tries.
