Five Terps Named To United Soccer Coaches All-Region Team

COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Five Maryland men's soccer student-athletes were named to the United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Men's All-North Region Teams. Lasse Kelp, Laurin Mack, Sadam Masereka, and Stephane Njike earned First Team honors, while Leon Koehl was selected to the Second Team.

Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year Laurin Mack delivered an exceptional 2025 campaign, recording eight shutouts in 15 regular-season matches — ranking 16th nationally and tied for first in the Big Ten. Mack claimed three Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Week honors, including two during a stretch of four straight conference shutouts. He finished the season with a 0.94 goals-against average and 61 saves.

Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist Lasse Kelp anchored one of the nation's top defensive units, playing all 1,730 minutes this season — the full 90 in every match, plus 110 in the NCAA Tournament game vs. UNC. Maryland led the Big Ten in goal differential and recorded nine shutouts, allowing just 12 goals during the regular season. Kelp added one goal and two assists, including a crucial 85th-minute equalizer at Penn State.

Sadam Masereka, who led the Terps in both points and goals, delivered a standout senior season that earned him All-Big Ten First Team honors. His year was highlighted by a first-half hat trick in the regular-season finale at Michigan State — Maryland's first hat trick since 2017 and first in a single half since 2005.

Stephane Njike, also an All-Big Ten First Team selection, finished second on the team in goals, assists, and points, and led the Terps with four game-winning goals.

Leon Koehl, an All-Big Ten First Team pick for the second straight season, recorded three goals and three assists in 16 games and earned one Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honor.
