The National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) has announced its Division I Men's Soccer Scholar Athletes. Eight members of the Carolina University Men's Soccer team have been honored for their academic achievements. These awards are given to juniors, seniors, and graduate students who maintain a GPA of at least 3.40.

The student-athletes recognized are Albert Alvarado Gonzalez, Jason De la Rosa, Aidan Fletcher, Idris Junaid, Mouad Layoussifi, Matthew McCamley, and Robin Salge.

Head Coach Craig Golding expressed his pride in the team's accomplishments both on and off the field. "It has been the best year in our program's history," said Golding. He emphasized the importance of academics by stating, "Having the best regular season record and players breaking records and making history is awesome, but it's even more special when we have guys who can perform well in the classroom and prioritize their grades on top of the pressure of being a student athlete." He added that they always remind players that "they're students first" and excelling academically is crucial for their future beyond college.
