University of Mary Washington men's soccer goalkeeper
Freddy Rogers has been named as the Division III Commissioners 2024-25 Regional Male Student-Athlete of the Year, as announced by the organization.
The D3CA Student-Athlete of the Year Award recognizes graduating seniors who have demonstrated excellence in athletics, academics, leadership, and service throughout their collegiate careers. Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society, serves as the presenting sponsor of these awards.
Rogers, a United Soccer Coaches first team All-America selection as the goalie for the nationally-ranked and Coast-to-Coast Conference champion men's soccer team, also gained consensus first team Academic All-America honors from the United Soccer Coaches as well as the College Sports Communicators. Too, he was named the UMW Athletics Student-Athlete of the Year last year.
Rogers, who will graduate in December, carries a 3.9 grade-point-average as a marketing major, was just the 13th student-athlete in the athletic department's history to be named to a CoSIDA/CSC All-American team and the first since 2016.
The 2024 season was a success to say the least for Rogers and the Eagles, who were ranked the No. 1 team in the nation for the majority of the year. Rogers recorded a 19-2-2 record in net -- which is tied for the second most wins in a single season in program history -- as well as a 19-1-2 record against NCAA Div. III opponents.
Rogers started all 23 games in net for UMW, playing in over 2,000 minutes this season. He recorded 63 saves and nine shutouts, while being named the 2024 Coast-to-Coast Defensive Player of the Year.
