MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) has announced its major award winners and all-conference team for the 2026 men's soccer season, with MSOE seeing eight Raiders earn recognition. 

Chase Frea and Nico Picha are the lone members of the Red and White on the first team, with each anchoring their respective unit on the pitch for MSOE.  Frea was a stalwart on the Raiders defensive unit, shutting down team's top options while logging the third most minutes on the team, adding a goal and an assist on the offensive end this season as two-way threat for the Raiders.  Picha led the team in goals with nine, total points with eighteen, and logged the eighth most minutes on the team in his final season with the Raiders.  Picha was a central cog in the MSOE machine, demanding attention from opposing defenses across the entire conference as he finished sixth in the NACC in points per game.

The Red and White field four members of the All-NACC second team, with two on the offensive end in Ditar Useni and Andrew Calderon, and two on the defensive end in Peter Yehle and Filip Aniecko. 

Useni and Calderon are at the top of the Raiders ranks in both minutes played and points scored, with Useni tallying eight points and two game-winning goals this season, while Calderon has logged the fourth most minutes on the team in his first season with the Red and White.  Calderon currently sits third on the team with six goals, while cementing his cartwheel-handspring as his signature celebration.

Yehle and Aneicko combined for almost 2,800 minutes on the pitch for MSOE, with Yehle leading the team at 1604 minutes played so far, while bolstering the Red and White's back line of defense.  Aniecko sits fifth on the team in minutes played, with one goal and seven assists across his 20 games for the Raiders, as one of the primary corner-kick specialists.

Lachlan Ladd, who is second on the Raiders with sixteen total points and four game-winning goals was named Honorable Mention, as well as the Red and White's primary goalkeeper Christian Dershem, who currently holds an 8-4-4 record in goal, with a .708 save percentage and a 1.18 GAA.

The Raiders currently sit with a record of 12-4-4, posting a 8-1-3 record in conference play during the regular season, as they gear up for their fourth consecutive NACC Championship match this Saturday, November 7^th against the No. 1 seed Edgewood Eagles.  The game is scheduled for a 1:00 P.M. start in Verona, Wis.
