The CSC Academic All-District Team honors student-athletes who have achieved at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA and competed in 90% of matches or started 66% of contests during the season. All six Miners met or exceeded these standards while helping lead S&T to a 9-6-3 overall record and a GLVC Tournament appearance.

Vieira turned in one of the conference's top attacking seasons, finishing with six goals, two assists, and 14 points on 30 shots with 11 on goal. He recorded a .200 shooting percentage, added a brace against Truman State, and served as one of S&T's most consistent scoring threats throughout the fall.

A key piece of the Miners' frontline, Banasik totaled four goals and two assists for 10 points, scoring three game-winners and posting a strong .542 shots-on-goal percentage on the year.

Bresette contributed across multiple phases with two goals and three assists (seven points), while producing an efficient .500 shots-on-goal percentage and adding one game-winning goal.

Joseph Sommer (Edwardsville, IL/Edwardsville) – Defender
Sommer played a major creative role in S&T's midfield, supplying two goals and three assists while generating 20 shots and elevating the Miners' attack with consistent possession and distribution.

Luke Giesing (St. Louis, MO/Lindbergh) – Midfielder
Giesing provided steady offensive production with two goals, one assist, and 33 shots, including several key contributions during conference play as S&T climbed the GLVC standings.

Cavitt Bruhn (Plano, TX/Plano) – Goalkeeper
Bruhn anchored the Miners defensively, starting nearly every match and finishing with a 1.17 goals-against average and multiple shutouts. His reliability and presence in goal stabilized S&T's back line throughout the season.
