BOSTON - Boston University men's soccer incoming freshman Trevor McManamon was named the West bracket's best goalie by the US Soccer Development Academy on July 15. The Development Academy's eight Conference Starting XI squads and Coaches of the Year from the Under-17/18 age groups were announced during Finals Week at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

McManamon led Bellarmine to its third straight West Catholic Athletic League title and second CCS Division I championship as a senior captain. He was named All-CCS Second Team, and his team finished No. 3 in the nation with a record of 26-1-2. He was also the starting goalkeeper for Region IV ODP team.

The purpose of U.S. Soccer's Development Academy is to encourage progress and motivate players to reach their potentials in a professional environment. The Academy provides young players opportunities to get scouted by national and college coaches as each Academy game is evaluated by scouts.
