SAN BRUNO, Calif. – University of the Pacific men's soccer student-athletes James Andrew and Massimo Erfani earned West Coast Conference All-Academic Team recognition Monday afternoon, highlighting their accomplishments during the 2026 season.

Andrew sported a 3.96 grade-point average as a business administration major, concentrating in finance and business analytics while Erfani, a business administration major with a concentration in finance, earned the same recognition with a 3.86 GPA.

Andrew, a native of Davis, California, eclipsed the 1,000-minute mark for the first time in his collegiate career, playing a key role on the backend for first-year head coach Andres Ochoa. Andrew collected six 90-minute performances during the 2026 campaign.

Erfani, a native of San Diego, California, complemented his success in the classroom with a career-best senior campaign, emerging as one of Pacific's key contributors during conference competition. He appeared in all 18 matches, making 12 starts and accumulating 1,125 minutes in 2026. He finished third on the team with four goals and 10 points while adding two assists. He also ranked second on the team with 29 shots, including 16 on goal, and led the Tigers with two game-winning markers. Erfani's four goals in 2026 surpassed his previous pair of collegiate seasons combined, marking his most productive campaign as a Tiger.
 
Andrew and Erfani become the first duo on the Pacific men's soccer squad to be named to the WCC All-Academic Team since teammates Avery Whipple and Emory Rapaport in 2022.
