Bodily and Bartlow Earn All-America Honors
December 12, 2019 | Men's Soccer
SEATTLE --- For just the second time in program history, Washington saw two players on the United Soccer Coaches All-American teams as junior Blake Bodily earned first-team honors and sophomore Ethan Bartlow was named to the second team announced on Thursday evening.
"Blake and Ethan are two very deserving All-American recipients," said Washington Head Coach Jamie Clark. "Their contributions to our success this year were immense. Ethan led one of the best defenses in the nation and Blake was key to one of the most prolific offenses."
Bodily, a junior midfielder from Eagle, Idaho, becomes just the third Husky to earn first-team honors, joining Taylor Peay (2013) and CJ. Klaas (2003, 2004). Bodily had a banner season in 2019, scoring a team-best 12 goals and adding six assists to become Washington's first 30-point scorer in 13 years.
Bodily was especially strong at the end of the year, scoring eight goals over his final nine matches including two goals and an assist in Washington's three NCAA Tournament matches. He recorded points in 14 of the 19 matches he appeared in and accounted for 40% of the team's scoring. Bodily, who finished 20th in the NCAA in total points (30) and total goals (12), was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year and a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy.
Bartlow, a sophomore defender from Woodinville, was the key cog in Washington's impressive backline. He appeared in 20 matches, playing 1,694 minutes while helping the Huskies record 12 shutouts, surrender just 14 goals and finish ninth in the NCAA with a 0.66 goals against average. Bartlow was named the Pac-12 Defender of the Year in November, becoming the first Husky to earn the honor.
In addition to his solid work on defense, Bartlow also stepped up his game offensively in 2019, scoring five goals while adding an assist. He tallied two of those goals in Washington's second-round match against Marshall, recording the eventual match-winner and adding a penalty kick goal later in the contest.
"Both young men are great examples of where hard work and dedication can take you," said Clark. "They embody all the great characteristics of Washington athletics and I couldn't be more proud to have them represent our team."
Washington finished an impressive season with a 17-4-0 record, winning the second-most games in program history and reaching the NCAA Quarterfinals for the second time.
