ST. PAUL, Minn. – Four members of the Macalester College men's soccer team were honored by the MIAC, as the conference announced its annual awards today. Senior midfielder Kasdan Blattman (San Jose, Calif./Bellarmine) and first year forward John Albright (Minnetonka, Minn./Minnetonka) were named All-MIAC, while senior midfielder Chris Frantz (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove) and first year defender Jeremy Cordeiro (Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata) received All-MIAC honorable mention. Additionally, Blattman was named to the MIAC All-Playoff Team.

Blattman earns his fourth conference honor after making the All-MIAC team in 2023 and 2025 and receiving All-MIAC honorable mention in 2024. An All-American honoree last year, he led the Scots this year in assists (seven) and points (15) while scoring four goals. Blattman closed out his outstanding career with eight points in his final three games, including a goal and two assists in a victory over Saint Mary's, the game-winning goal against Augsburg, and two assists in a loss at Carleton in the first round of the MIAC Playoffs. He finished his career with 16 goals and 27 assists for 59 points in 77 games as a Scot, ranking third in assists and 13th in points on Macalester's all-time lists.

Albright had an outstanding first season, tallying a team-leading six goals to go with two assists for 14 points. He opened his collegiate career with the game-tying goal at UW-Platteville and the game-winning goal against Luther in his first two games. Albright also found the net in wins over St. Scholastica, Concordia and Saint Mary's, and scored the Scots' lone goal at nationally-ranked Saint John's.

Frantz registered four goals and two assists for 10 points, all over the final eight games of the season. An All-MIAC honorable mention selection in 2024, he had a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over UW-Superior and scored a goal against then-No. 2 St. Olaf. In the first round of the MIAC Playoffs, Frantz scored twice in a 4-2 loss at Carleton. Over 77 games at Macalester, Frantz totaled 22 goals and 17 assists for 61 points to rank 12th in goals, 10th in assists and 11th in points in the history of the program.

Cordeiro started 15 games for the Scots as an outside defender, contributing to six shutouts this season. He also registered an assist in a 3-0 win over Concordia.

Gustavus' Joe Flory was chosen the MIAC Offensive Player of the Year, while Beckett Carlson of St. Olaf was named the MIAC Defensive Player of the Year. Liam Paradiso of Augsburg was selected the Rookie of the Year, and St. Olaf's Justin Oliver was chosen the Coach of the Year.
