SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The West Coast Conference announced the 2025 Men's Soccer All-Academic Team on Thursday afternoon.

Pacific had four student-athletes garner WCC All-Academic honors with junior Mateus Ruiz-Hurst, senior Matteo Carbone, senior Alberto Cruz and senior Luca Baltzer achieving All-Academic Honorable Mentions.

The quartet of honorees played pivotal roles during the 2025 campaign, leading by example on and off the field.

Baltzer, the Pacific captain, represented the team leader in goals and points this season. Cruz notched two goals and an assist in 17 matches. Carbone was a steady presence on the backend, playing 1,268 minutes with an assist. Ruiz-Hurst started the bulk of matches defending the goal, collecting 40 saves and earning a 2.26 goals against average in 13 starts.

At the conclusion of each athletic season, the WCC selects an all-academic squad for each WCC-sponsored sport. To be considered, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA, while also being a significant contributor to her team and in at least their second year at their school.
