MILWAUKEE – The College Sport Communicators (CSC) has announced the Academic All-American honors for the 2025 men's soccer season, with Adrian Manchado earning first team honors.

Manchado, a senior from Cubas de la Sagra Madrid Spain, was one of the top defenders in Division III this season, scoring eight goals and three assists as he logged 1,593 minutes on the pitch this season. Starting all 23 games, Manchado led a backline that made ten shutouts, along with the entire NACC Tournament.

Manchado was a first-team All-Conference selection and first-team CSC Academic All-District. Manchado also earned NACC Defensive Player of the Week honors as in two games scored three goals and an assist in a 3-0 win over Marian and 6-3 win over Benedictine.

This is the second straight season a men's soccer player has earned first team honors for this award, with Steven Arthur earning third-team honors. This marks the first time a Raider has earned first-team honors since 2020 when Matthew Kirmse of men's basketball earned this distinction, and first time a men's soccer player earned first team honors since Braden Andryk in 2016.

The Raiders finished the season with an overall record of 14-6-3, while finishing 8-3-1 in conference play. Being voted second in the preseason, the Raiders finished fourth in the regular season but shutout opponents en route to their third straight conference championship game appearance and second-straight conference title and NCAA tournament berth.
