Latham, N.Y. - The United East Conference announced the men's soccer end-of-year awards this morning, which featured a trio of Notre Dame of Maryland men's soccer standouts - Athanasios Ziliaskopolous, Martin Rasiwala, and Tassilo Lehmkuhl - being honored, with the first two being named to the first team while Lehmkuhl earned second team honors. 

This is the first time ever the Gators have put two players on the all-conference first team.

Ziliaskopolous, a junior who was a third team all-conference selection last season and a second team selection in 2024, had a 2026 season in which he found the back of the net ten times, fifth-best in the conference, and his .77 goals per game ranked second in the league. The International Business student's season was highlighted by a hat trick against Gallaudet, the first of his collegiate career and the second ever in program history. 

Rasiwala, who was also named to the third team a season ago, led the Gators' back line as he played every single minute for NDMU in 2026. The Swede scored a pair of goals and assisted four times, more than doubling his career goal contribution. 

The International Business major led a defense that recorded five clean sheets, the single-season best in program history. 

Lehmkuhl, a senior who earns his fourth all-conference honor, is named to the second team for the third time in his career after being the program's inaugural first team selection last season. The German battled injuries to record five goal contributions in limited action, and his 39 career goal contributions is the program's watermark.
