INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Horizon League announced its 2026 men's soccer All-League awards on Friday afternoon, with Oscar Arroyo and Noah Lechelt receiving All-League Second Team honors.
 
Lechelt finished the season as Green Bay's leading scorer, scoring five goals in 16 appearances while starting 13 matches. His offensive production was even more impressive during Horizon League play, where he scored all five of his goals, tied for the most among HL players. He ranked first on the team in goals, points (10), shots (33), shots on goal (15), and game-winning goals (2).

The sophomore forward delivered one of the season's signature performances against Northern Kentucky, scoring a hat trick in Green Bay's 3-1 win over the Norse on Sept. 9. He also found the back of the net in league matches against Cleveland State and IU Indy.

Arroyo earned recognition after anchoring the Phoenix defense throughout the season. The defender was one of only two Green Bay players to start all 17 matches and logged 1,503 minutes, the second-most on the team.

Despite his primary defensive responsibilities, Arroyo also contributed offensively with two goals on the season, both coming in Horizon League matches. He scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Detroit Mercy on Oct. 3 and added a goal in Green Bay's 2-1 win against IU Indy on Oct. 24.
