NEWTOWN, Pa.— The Middle Atlantic Conference office today released all-conference lists and special awards for the 2026 men's soccer season. MAC Commonwealth coaches picked Zach Sievert as a first-team midfielder.

Sievert, a senior captain from Jacksonville, Fla., led the Eagles in goals (9), assists (4), and points (22) while moving into different midfield spaces throughout the year. Always able to run at defenderrs and create, Sievert also showed outstanding ball-winning and defensive integrity as the Eagles stayed in the mix in the MAC Commonwealth. Heading into the final match at Messiah, Eastern played in six league games with a goal differential of one or less. The only two-goal game int he league was Eastern's 2-0 win at Alvernia.
