Glendale, Ariz.- On Sunday, the Great Southwest Athletic Conference (GSAC) announced the 2026 Men's Soccer All-GSAC Team, presented by Under Armour. Three ACU players were selected including freshman forward Nathan Tchiakpe, senior midfielder Jose Garcia, and senior defender Jake Underwood. 

Garcia, from Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, lead the Firestorm with ten goals and seven assists. The midfielder earned All-GAC honors for the third time in his career, scoring 25 goals and having 19 assists since 2023. 

Tchiakpe, a Creteil, France native, earned GSAC honors for the first time in his first season. The rookie scored six goals and had four assists, including 11 shots on goal and three game-winning goals. 

Underwood, from Phoenix, AZ, earned GSAC honors for the third time in his career. The captain topped the Firestorm in minutes played with 1,620 minutes, starting in all games he played this season. 

Head coach Ted Krzywiecki stated, "I'm proud of Jake, Nathan, and Jose for being recognized as ALL-GSAC honorees. All three have produced some special moments for us throughout our conference season this year and deserve the recognition. Congrats to each guy and the team for having three players recognized."

The Firestorm trio will lead the ACU men's soccer team into the quarterfinals of the GSAC tournament and hopefully beyond. Arizona Christian will host the fifth seeded Benedictine Mesa Redhawks tonight at 6pm on the ACU Soccer Field.
