Men鈥檚 Soccer Places Three on American Preseason All-Conference Team
Three FIU men's soccer players have made the American Preseason All-Conference Team: forwards Pasquale Capriati and Johan Helan, and defender Alfonso Gilleard-Soriano. Capriati, entering his senior year, scored four goals and made 11 starts in 2025. Helan impressed in his freshman year, scoring three goals across all matches, while Gilleard-Soriano anchored the defense with a standout sophomore season, logging the most minutes played. The team is projected to finish fifth in the American Conference preseason poll, as determined by coaching votes.
By the Numbers- Pasquale Capriati: 4 goals, 3 assists, 11 starts in 2025
- Alfonso Gilleard-Soriano: 1,498 minutes played, 14 shots, 1 goal, 1 assist
- FIU men's soccer enters the 2026 season with three players recognized on the All-Conference Team.
- The team is ranked fifth in the American Conference preseason poll.
The Panthers will look to leverage their recognized talent to improve their standings in the upcoming season, with key matches that could solidify their position in the conference rankings.
Bottom LineWith three players honored, FIU is poised to make an impact in the 2026 season, but must convert individual recognition into team success to challenge for a higher finishing spot in the conference.
