PRINCETON, W.Va. - After regrouping under rookie head coach Pat Kirkland the University of Charleston pulled out wins in five of their last six games, while placing eight representatives on the All-WVIAC teams.

The nations tenth ranked runner Jordan Roberts (Madison, WV) led the Golden Eagles as a First Team selection after having a record breaking junior season. Roberts set single-season records for rushing with 1,430 total yards, while finishing 2011 ranked No. 2 in NCAA Division II with a school record 2,274 all-purpose yards. Roberts led the WVIAC in rushing by more than 30 yards per game and accounted for a conference-high 18 touchdowns.

Sophomore kicking sensation Puma Nuredini (Naples, FL) was honored as First Team selection after leading the West Virginia Conference in punting by averaging 32.9 yards per kick. Nuredini was also one of the top place kickers in the conference averaging 4.5 points per game, including a school-record 44 yard field goal.

The third First Team selection went to junior offensive linemen George Davila (Naples, FL) who was a keystone on the WVIAC's top running attack. Charleston ran for 225.5 yards per game this season with 26 touchdowns with Davilla playing a key leadership role to a young lineup.

The Second Team defense was led by the Golden Eagles Aaron Dunlap (St. Albans, WV) who had a breakout senior season. In his final game in a UC uniform Dunlap set a single-season record with 18 tackles in a 42-20 win at West Virginia State. His 101 tackles this season set the mark for Charleston in a single season and was second in the conference overall.

Center Matt Farhat (Bradenton, FL) grabbed a slot on the Honorable Mention team in helping to guide UC's high-power rushing offense. Golden Eagles sack leader Jeff Green (Johnson City, TN) landed an Honorable Mention defense position after going off for a team-leading 8.5 sacks in 2011, which ranked third in the league.

On the Special Honorable Mention Team was linebacker Matt Kelly (Cincinnati, OH) and elusive quarterback Maurice Leak (Waxhaw, NC). Kelly concluded this season with 71 tackles that included 11.5 tackles for a loss. Leak completed 111-of-217 passes for 1,295 yards, but was most effective as a key part of the UC ground-attack as a top-10 rusher in the conference. Leak ended the year with 575 rushing yards for five touchdowns.
