Bohney Earns Co-POY, Offensive POY Honors to Pace All-Heart Recipients
Oskaloosa–Four Statesmen men’s lacrosse players garnered postseason honors as the 2026 all-Heart of America Athletic Conference teams were announced Saturday.
Kenny Bohney (Sr., Moorhead, Minn., Exercise Science), Matt Scott (Fr., Denver, Colo., Sports Management), Everett Breniser (So., Centennial, Colo., Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management), and Blake Cyboron (Sr., Council Bluffs, Iowa, Industrial Technology) all collected first-team recognition.
A total of 13 individuals were named to the top team, while 14 players were selected to the second squad.
Bohney was also voted as the Heart’s Co-Player of the Year and the Offensive Player of the Year. He shared the POY award with CJ Besuzzi of Benedictine.
The all-Heart accolade is the third for Bohney (all on first team), while Breniser (first time on first team) and Cyboron (both times on first team) are both two-time award recipients. Scott is now a first-time honoree.
It is the fourth year in a row that WPU has had the league’s POY and OPOY winners.
The quartet has led the navy and gold to a 12-3 record (7-2 Heart) and a trip to next week’s NAIA National Championship.
Bohney, who was honored as an attacker, has produced 50 goals and 38 assists. He has also recorded 39 ground balls and four caused turnovers. The senior has tallied a season-best 10 points twice, including seven goals and three assists against Webber International on February 27.
Bohney has scored points in every game this spring.
Scott’s award comes via 43 goals and 12 assists, in addition to 25 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers. The midfielder had his best performance versus Indiana Tech on March 7 with five goals and three assists.
Another midfielder, Breniser enters nationals with 34 goals and 26 assists, while also posting 13 ground balls and two caused turnovers.
The sophomore, like Bohney, has scored at least one point in every contest in 2026, with a high of 13 (3 goals, 10 assists) coming in a matchup with Ottawa on March 21.
Cyboron, who is a short stick defensive midfielder, has found success on both ends of the field with nine goals, six assists, 44 ground balls, and 16 caused turnovers.
The senior’s season-high six caused turnovers came in a bout against William Woods on April 4.
Besuzzi was also tabbed as the league’s Defensive Player of the Year, while teammate John Paul Torgerson claimed the Freshman of the Year award. Carter Gras of St. Ambrose was picked for Newcomer of the Year recognition.
