Emerson Kekesi were both named Academic All-Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) by the league office Friday morning.

Hagen adds another honor to a postseason awards haul that already included United Soccer Coaches Second Team Scholar All-America, United Soccer Coaches First Team All-Region, MAC Freedom Defensive Player of the Year, and First Team All-MAC Freedom. he Union, N.J. native started 18 of the team's 19 matches in 2025, averaging more than 85 minutes in those contests, playing all 90 minutes 10 times. In addition to helping hold the opposition to one goal or fewer 12 times, he also scored his first collegiate goal in a win over NYU, adding another goal and two assists in conference play. Following MAC Freedom Tournament shutout wins over Misericordia and Lebanon Valley, Hagen was named the Tournament's Most Valuable Player.
Kekesi became just the third Duck since 2016 with at least 10 goals in a season thanks in large part to a remarkable back half of the season. Kekesi scored eight goals in eight matches leading up to the MAC Freedom Tournament after scoring just one in the team's first six matches; three of those goals wound up game-winners in conference play alone. The sophomore tacked on a goal in the conference semifinals, assisted on the lone goal of the MAC Freedom Championship, and scored in the NCAA Tournament against Brandeis.
