LATHAM, N.Y. -- Penn College tied a program record with five selections to the 2026 United East Conference Men's Soccer All-Conference Team, announced by the conference office on Thursday.

Will Watson earned First Team Defender honors. The sophomore defender scored two goals and added five assists while serving as one of the league's premier defenders throughout the season. Watson received his second all-conference award after earning third-team recognition in 2025.

Three Wildcats were named to the second team in Midfielder Diego Diaz, defender Justin Boring and goalkeeper Justin Crismale. 

Diaz led Penn College with six assists and scored one goal to earn his first career postseason honor. Boring teamed with Watson as the Wildcats limited opponents to 1.33 goals per game and a .472 shot-on-goal percentage. Crismale posted a 6-5-3 record, made 44 saves and recorded a .721 save percentage. He had two regular-season shutouts, against Lancaster Bible and St. Mary's. Crismale earned his second all-conference award after he was named Rookie of the Year and a first-team selection in 2025.

Scott Goldfeder was named Third Team Midfielder after leading the Wildcats with 11 points and five goals, including three goals and one game-winning goal against conference opponents. The selection was Goldfeder's second all-conference honor after being named to the second team in 2024.

Penn College's season concluded in the United East Quarterfinals following an 8-6-4 overall record, 5-2-1 against conference competition.
