Wilmer Cabrera, Jr. has been named 2019 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year by the conference's head coaches. The Bulldogs also had four players selected for All-BIG EAST honors as the postseason honors were announced Monday, Nov. 11.

Cabrera, Jr. earned second team All-BIG EAST honors, while seniors Brandon Guhl and Jared Timmer, along with sophomore Jack Haywood, were selected to the third team.

Butler, 11-6-1 on the season, will play a BIG EAST semifinal contest at top-seeded Georgetown Wednesday afternoon.

Cabrera, Jr. becomes the second Bulldog to win BIG EAST Freshman of the Year honors, joining David Goldsmith, who earned the recognition in Butler's first season as a member of the conference.

Cabrera, Jr. and Guhl lead the Bulldogs with eight goals and 19 points apiece at this point in the season. Cabrera, Jr. leads the BIG EAST with six game-winning goals, including the team's two most recent matches, a 2-1 win over Xavier to close the regular season and a penalty kick in the team's 1-0 win at Creighton Saturday night in the BIG EAST quarterfinals.

Guhl was a 2017 All-BIG EAST first team selection when he was also named BIG EAST Co-Offensive Player of the Year.

Timmer also earned All-BIG EAST first team honors in 2016, one season after he earned a spot on the All-Freshman Team. Timmer missed the beginning of the season due to injury before returning for the Bulldogs' last eight matches. Butler is 5-2-1 in that span as Timmer has posted a goal and two assists.

Haywood's seven assists are tied for the BIG EAST lead. He earned a spot on the 2018 BIG EAST All-Freshman Team.
