The Pac-12 announced its men's soccer All-Conference honors today with UCLA's Jose Hernandez winning the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year award.

Hernandez wasn't the only Bruin to earn recognition in the conference, though. Three other Bruins joined Hernandez on the All-Pac-12 First Team, and another five Bruins earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention.

Here's a complete list of the 2015 Men's Soccer All-Pac-12 Teams:

Stanford's Jordan Morris was named Pac-12 Player of the Year. Morris' teammate Brandon Vincent was selected as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, and his coach Jeremy Gunn earned Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors.

UCLA and Stanford are the only conference teams to earn NCAA Tournament berths this season.
