COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) announced the 2025 Men's Soccer All-South Central Region Teams and Regional Player of the Year on Tuesday afternoon with senior forward Miles Seminario and sophomore defender Luke Noameshie being named to the first team and senior forward Nick Walker being tabbed to the second team.
 
Sophomore forward Ethan Nakolo of Oklahoma Christian University was selected as the 2025 South Central Region Men's Soccer Player of the Year after putting together an outstanding campaign in which he was tabbed the Lone Star Conference Player and Forward of the Year along with being named to the All-LSC First Team after recording 17 goals, two assists, and 36 points.
 
Midwestern State University led all South Central institutions with six all-region selections, including three players on the first team and three players on the second team. UCCS and Fort Lewis College each landed three players on the all-region teams, with the Skyhawks landing all three on the first team and the Mountain Lions securing two first team selections.
 
The D2CCA All-South Central Region Teams and Regional Player of the Year were nominated and voted on by the Sports Information Directors from the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC).
 
Noameshie secures D2CCA All-Region First Team accolades for the first time in his collegiate career after putting together a stellar sophomore season in which he was named the RMAC Defensive Player of the Year and accrued All-RMAC First Team honors. The native of Omaha. Neb. has served as the anchor of a strong UCCS defensive backline throughout the season as he has appeared in 20 games for a total of 1,549 minutes while helping the Mountain Lions limit their opponents to just 1.32 goals per game. With the help of Noameshie's athleticism on the back end, UCCS has minimized their opponents' offensive opportunities by allowing just 12.7 total shots and 4.18 shots on goal per game through 22 games played. Noameshie has also used his 6-foot-2 frame as a big body in the box on set pieces as he has recorded one goal and three assists on the season, including a pair of crucial assists in Mountain Lions' NCAA second-round victory over California State University Dominguez Hills on Nov. 23.
 
A senior from Colorado Springs, Seminario collects the first D2CCA All-Region First Team nod of his collegiate career after putting up an outstanding final season in the black and gold. An All-RMAC First Team forward, Seminario currently leads the Mountain Lions in nearly every offensive category as he holds career-best marks with 10 goals, four assists, 24 points, 49 total shots, and 27 shots on goal while appearing in each of the team's 22 games thus far. In 1,648 minutes of action, Seminario has also been one of the top offensive players in the RMAC during the 2025 season as he currently ranks third in the conference in shots on goal, fourth in total shots and goals, fifth in points, and tied for ninth in assists. Across his four-year collegiate career, Seminario has been an iron man for the Mountain Lions as he has played in each of the team's 84 games during his time with the program and is now the program's all-time leader in games played. In addition, Seminario currently ranks second all-time in program history in shot on goal percentage (.500), fifth in total shots on goal (62), and 10^th in total shots (124) while ranking just outside the top 10 in goals, assists, and points.
 
Another first-time all-region honoree, Walker registers a spot on the D2CCA All-Region Second Team as a forward after another solid season in the front field for the Mountain Lions. The All-RMAC First Team forward has been a major contributor on the UCCS offensive attack throughout the 2025 campaign as he has netted nine goals and dished out three assists for 21 points across 19 games played. In nearly 1,200 minutes of action, Walker has recorded 31 total shots and 17 shots on goal while serving as one of the most opportunistic strikers in the nation with an RMAC and NCAA Division II leading seven game-winning goals. In two seasons with the Mountain Lions after beginning his collegiate career at California State University Dominguez Hills, Walker has been a model of consistency as he has notched 17 goals, six assists and 40 points across 36 games played and 2,244 minutes on the pitch.
