BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Following a tough vote by the league members, five former Alabama-Huntsville men's soccer players were selected to the Gulf South Conference All-Time Team (1996-09) as announced by the league.

The Chargers landed three members on the first team as midfielder William Jaggwe and defenders Edward Katamba and Fred Kalule were named as three of the top-14 players in GSC history.  Joining the legendary trio in earning GSC All-Time team honors were former head coach and forward Tafadzwa "Lincoln" Ziyenge and striker Ross Comeaux.

Suiting up for the Chargers from 1996-99, Jaggwe picked up his honor being the only player in league history with four 1st-team All-GSC Selections and three GSC All-Academic team honors.  Kalule starred for UAH from 96-99 as well earning three 1st-Team All-GSC selections along with 1996 GSC co-Freshman of the Year, 1997 GSC Tournament Most Outstanding Player and three GSC All-Tournament Team honors.  A mainstay in the backfield for UAH from 98-01, Katamba earns his laurels after being named All-GSC all four years including three 1st-Team selections.  Katamba also earned a pair of GSC All-Academic Team honors.

The all-time leader in career goals and points (25g, 56p), Ziyenge earned 2nd-Team All-Time honors for his play from 1993-96 after leading the Chargers to the inaugural GSC Championship during his senior campaign in 1996 that garnered him 1st-Team All-GSC honors.  Following his playing days, Ziyenge took over as the head coach of the UAH women's team in 1997, a position that he held until 2010, and later took over the Charger men's program as well midway through the 2008 campaign.

UAH's only NSCAA All-America in 1997, Comeaux, the all-time leading point scorer in Charger history with 120 points, rounded out the picks for the blue and white with a 2nd-Team selection.  Taking the field from 1994-97, Comeaux picked up 1997 GSC Co-Player of the Year honors along with 1st-Team All-GSC laurels in 1996 and 1997.

Players could only be nominated for the All-Time Team if they competed in at least two seasons and were also named to the All-GSC First Team at least once.  Each squad was broken up into First and Second Teams and Players and Coaches of the Decade were selected.  Honorable Mentions were also recognized in special circumstances; for example, those student-athletes that competed in just one season and were an All-GSC First Team member during the past decade.  The league office decided to designate the men’s and women’s soccer squads as “All-Time Teams” because the GSC has only sponsored the sport since 1996.
