John McCarthy Best Keeper In The East
The PDL is proud to announce its 2012 All-Conference Teams, honoring the players who stood out during the 2012 regular season. The teams were selected through a vote of team management.
A huge congratulations goes to our Nor’easters goalkeeper John McCarthy who picked up All-Eastern Conference for his fantastic performances in 2012. McCarthy had 5 shut outs and 67 saves in 14 games and a Goals Against Average of just 0.725 (second best in franchise history behind Pat Hannigan 0.54, 2004).
McCarthy is the 11th Ocean City player to be honoured with an All-Conference selection and the 3rd goalkeeper in our USL PDL history
