Hildebrandt was also named to the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team.

For Hildebrandt, the honor is the latest in a career filled with major accomplishments. Earlier this year, he earned ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District first-team honors for the second straight season. Hildebrandt is an accounting/finance major with a 3.83 grade-point average.

In 2008, Hildebrandt earned nearly every honor a collegiate soccer player can receive, being named to the All-MIAC team and All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team, in addition to earning National Soccer Coaches Association of America/Adidas Division III All-America second-team and NSCAA/Adidas All-Far West Region first-team honors. Academically, he was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America third team and the NSCAA/Adidas Scholar All-Region squad and Scholar All-America first team, in addition to earning Academic All-MIAC honors.

In his career at Augsburg (71 games), Hildebrandt finished with 14 goals and nine assists for 37 points, including five game-winning goals.

Hildebrandt was also named to the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team for the second year in a row. As a part of the conference's sportsmanship initiative, members of the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team are selected by their coaches and teammates as individuals who demonstrate ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field of competition.

Loyd earned All-MIAC first-team honors for the first time, after earning All-MIAC honorable-mention honors last season. A reliable defender, Loyd started all 17 games and saw action in 1,444 of Augsburg's 1,573 minutes this season (91.8 percent), with a game-winning goal coming in Augsburg's 2-0 win over Central (Iowa) on Sept. 7.

In his two seasons at Augsburg (40 games), Loyd has scored three goals with an assist for seven career points.

Gilmer was also a reliable defender, starting all 17 games and seeing action in a team-high 1,468 minutes this season (93.3 percent), scoring a goal and adding and assist for three points. He was the lone first-year student among the 37 players named to the All-MIAC (20 players) and All-MIAC honorable-mention (17 players) squads.
