New Braunfels, Texas – The American Southwest Conference has announced the 2026 Men’s Soccer All-Conference awards ahead of the ASC Championship, following a vote by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors.

Mary Hardin-Baylor earned a duo of awards, with head coach Ben Allen named Coach of the Year and defender Rhett Rapuzzi named Defensive Player of the Year. Led by Rapuzzi on the back line, the Cru allowed just five goals in ASC play on the way to the 2026 regular-season title. UMHB finished 12-2-2 overall, 8-0-2 in conference play, and will host the ASC Championship in Belton.

Joshua Daley of East Texas Baptist earned Offensive Player of the Year honors after leading the conference with seven goals in ASC play. He totaled 10 goals this season while starting all 17 games for the Tigers.

Schreiner’s Mason Miller is the Goalkeeper of the Year and the Freshman of the Year after starting all 16 games for the Mountaineers and playing every minute in goal. Miller totaled 88 saves this season, including a season-high 12 in a win over Howard Payne, and finished conference play with a .778 save percentage and two shutouts.

The Fred Jacoby Sportsmanship Team recognizes one student-athlete from each team who best demonstrates the ideals of the ASC and its commitment to sportsmanship. Athletes are selected by their head coach, with Preston McLean of East Texas Baptist, Gabriel Anderson of Hardin-Simmons, Andrew Womack of Howard Payne, Zach Verbeck of Mary Hardin-Baylor, Nick Munoz of McMurry and Gabe Zagastizabal of Schreiner earning the recognition.
