Four members of the Gannon University men's soccer program have been named to the 2025–26 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Team, recognizing the nation's top student-athletes for their combined excellence on the field and in the classroom.
All Academic All-District® honorees advance to consideration for the CSC Academic All-America® ballot.
The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes men's soccer student-athletes across four divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA. First, second, and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on December 16, 2025.
The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs receive partial financial support from the NCAA Division II and III governance structures to assist CSC with awards fulfillment.
Gannon's four selections played key roles in a historic 2025 campaign. The Golden Knights won their first PSAC Championship in program history and enter the week with a 14-2-4 record, heading into a Sweet 16 matchup against No. 22 Franklin Pierce in Super Region 1.
