ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Tech men's soccer placed four scholar-athletes on the Sunshine State Conference All-Conference awards, announced Thursday. It marks the fourth consecutive season in which four or more Panthers made an All-SSC Team.
After missing most of last season,
Sjur Drechsler is back on the All-SSC First Team for the third time in his career. Drechsler has only ever made the first team in all three seasons he played the whole regular season. Junior
Alvaro Ivorra Ronda earns his second All-SSC by making the second team.
Antonio Di Gaudio and
Francesco Micheli both made the third team in their first season.
Drechsler played and started in all 17 games for 1,525 minutes of action. The 2023 USC Player of the Year played 90 minutes or more in 15 matches, including all 100 minutes of the Panthers' overtime win over Barry in the SSC Quarterfinals on Monday. He has led the defense to four shutouts, with three happening in back-to-back-to-back games, a total of 331 straight minutes of no goals, for the first time since 2019. The graduate student also tallied an assist in the 3-0 neutral site game against Wingate.
Ronda also played a massive number of minutes for the Crimson and Gray, recording the third most with 1,373 minutes in 17 started games. He rarely took a play off, competing for 90 or more minutes eight times. The junior registered his first two career assists versus No. 13 North Georgia and Eckerd. Ronda was also a crucial part of four clean sheets during the 2025 campaign.
Di Gaudio is top-10 in the Sunshine State Conference in shots on goal (9
th), shots on goal per game (7
th), goals (6
th), goals per game (5
th), points (9
th), and points per game (7
th). The Firenze, Italy native's nine goals on the season lead the Panthers. He is currently on a five-game goal streak, including the overtime game-winner in the SSC Quarterfinals against Barry. Di Gaudio is 6-for-6 on penalty kicks this season, which is the most by a Panther since at least 2007.
Micheli impacted the game both defensively and offensively as a right back. On defense, the six-foot-four Italian started and appeared in 14 games for 1,226 minutes. He went the distance in 11 of the games and helped in four shutouts. Offensively, he scored in three consecutive games against North Georgia, Emory & Henry, and Embry-Riddle. Later in the year, Micheli tallied an assist to defeat Florida Southern 2-1.
Tech is set to take on Lynn in the SSC Semifinals on Thursday at 6 p.m. ET.
