PORTLAND, Ore. - The Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced Men's Soccer All-Academic teams, with 10 members of the 7^th-ranked Seattle Pacific University men's soccer team earning recognition for their work in the classroom.
 
To qualify for academic all-conference, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.20, be in at least their second season competing for their team and compete during the 2026 campaign.

Isaac Ketcham leads the group of Falcons as the only three-time honoree on the list. He's a business administration major with a 3.69 grade point average. Cristian Chel Lara, Lukas Shriner, Christopher Soto, and Mitchell Wilson make of the group of two-time selections for SPU. Victor Cabanas, Sam McAfee, Harper Sabari, Evan Towry, and Lucas Witthauer are Falcons making their first appearance on the GNAC All-Academic Team.

"We're proud to have 10 guys earn GNAC All-Academic honors this year," head coach Kevin Sakuda said. "It speaks to their commitment to success both in the classroom and on the field. Balancing academics and athletics takes discipline, and it's great to see their hard work recognized."
