CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Two members of the Presbyterian Blue Hose men's soccer team earned All-Big South recognition, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. Sophomore midfielder AJ Acree was named Second Team All-Big South, while junior defender Gabe Carvalho earned a spot on the Big South All-Academic Team..


AJ ACREE
Acree is the 18th different Blue Hose to be named either First or Second Team All-Big South in the program's history. The Wilmington, North Carolina native finished the season tied for the team lead with three goals. On October 12, Acree captured the Big South Offensive Player of the Week award after he scored two goals on the road at Radford (October 9), becoming the first Presbyterian player since November 2, 2024, to accomplish that feat.
 

GABE CARVALHO
Carvalho, who has a 3.90 GPA majoring in Business Administration, earned Big South All-Academic Team honors. In the classroom, Carvalho was a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team selection last year. The Ottawa, Ontario, Canada native has been a standout on the Blue Hose defense from the moment he stepped on Presbyterian's campus. This season, he scored a goal and recorded a career-high three assists.
