DECLAN MCCABE SELECTS IPZ

Georgetown Midfielder to Be Represented by IPZ

WARREN, NJ, December 28, 2017 – Declan McCabe, a BIG EAST Conference Second Team selection, has signed with IPZ, the company announced today.

McCabe is a five-foot-nine Weston, MA native who took the pitch for Georgetown University during his collegiate career. McCabe played midfield for the Hoyas and earned BIG EAST All-Academic honors in each of his four seasons.

In his senior year, McCabe was tremendous for Georgetown as he recorded three goals (all game-winners), a team-leading 10 assists (tied for eighth most in the country), and 16 points. He was named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week on October 8, was a Second Team BIG EAST selection and named Second Team Scholar All-South Region by the United Soccer Coaches. The Hoyas were also BIG EAST Champions and McCabe was selected as the Most Outstanding Offensive Player in the conference tournament.

“I am excited to sign with Jeff Curtin and the group at IPZ because they have solid connections at the MLS level, and their marketing expertise will help me jumpstart my professional career,” said McCabe. “On top of that, Jeff’s a former Hoya with professional experience in MLS, and I know he will help me achieve my professional aspirations.”

“Declan is a player we are really excited to have join IPZ,” said IPZ Managing Director Jeff Curtin. “He is a dynamic attacker whose technical ability and vision allow him to make an impact from any of the attacking positions on the field. This was evident as Declan was one of the top assist men in college soccer this past year. Whether it’s as a withdrawn forward, central midfield, or out wide, Declan has a phenomenal ability to make the players around him better. Declan has the mindset and approach to be a great pro and we are delighted to have him officially join the IPZ family.”
