WASHINGTON - Four Georgetown men's soccer players were named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Best XI on Monday. Junior defender Joshua Yaro (Santa Barbara, Calif./Cate School) earned a spot on the first team, while senior forward Brandon Allen (Old Bridge, N.J./St. Joseph's) and sophomore midfielder Arun Basuljevic (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) were both named to the third team. Additionally, freshman goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski (Alamo, Calif./De La Salle) earned a spot on the freshman team.

Last season, Allen was named third team All-American and was a first team all-region selection after another impressive campaign. He led the team in scoring with 11 goals and three assists for 25 points on the year. His goals include three game winners and a mark of 3-3 on penalty kicks. He ranked first in the BIG EAST Conference in goals and second in points as well as first in goals per game.

Allen was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 29 and earned two nods to the Weekly Honor Roll. He currently ranks seventh in career points (86), sixth in career goals (38) and has ranked every year on the Hilltop in season goals.

In his career, Allen has been a three-time all-region and All-BIG EAST honoree as well as the national and BIG EAST Freshman of the Year.

Yaro, a 2014 MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist, was named First Team All-American and First Team All-Great Lakes Region last season. The BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year was also a unanimous selection to the first team. He was a key part of Georgetown's 10 shutouts in 2014, including a league-best six in the nine conference games played. He also got into the action on offense with an assist coming at Princeton. Yaro earned BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week honors on three occasions last season and was a member of the Preseason All-BIG EAST squad.

His sophomore year was a breakout season with conference, regional and national honors, marking the first in his career.

Both Allen and Yaro were named to the Hermann Trophy Watch List last week.

Last season, Basuljevic was selected to the TopDrawerSoccer.com's Freshman First Team and named the Soccer America Freshman of the Year after an outstanding campaign. He was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year and a unanimous selection to the BIG EAST All-Rookie Squad.

Basuljevic was Georgetown's second-leading scorer with six goals in 22 games with 14 starts to his credit. He had a team-best four game winners on the season including two in BIG EAST Conference play to tie him for first in the league. He was named the BIG EAST Rookie of the Week on Oct. 27 and earned a spot on the Weekly Honor Roll on Nov. 10.

This is Marcinkowski's first honor on the Hilltop. This summer, he and his San Jose Earthquakes Academy team fell in the USSDA Semifinals, but Marcinkowski put together a stellar performance and was named the USSDA West Goalkeeper of the Year. The Earthquakes were ranked sixth going into the playoffs and won the Northwest Division. Earlier in the summer, Marcinkowski was called up to play with the U.S. U-18 Men's National Team for the 2015 U18 NTC Invitational.

Georgetown is in the midst of preseason training. The team downed Syracuse University, 3-0, in their first exhibition game on Saturday and will face Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union tomorrow morning in Chester, Pa.
