STORRS, Conn. – Five Huskies garnered United Soccer Coaches All-East Region honors, headlined by First Teamers Austin Brummett and Sabri Hanni. Nicolas Tomerius was selected to the Second Team while Kyle Durham and Ayoub Lajhar earned Third Team honors.
Senior forward Austin Brummett (Bow, N.H.) earned First Team All-Region honors after leading the Huskies with ten goals this season. He appeared in 20 of UConn's 21 matches and logged the fifth-most minutes on the roster. Brummett helped propel UConn to the NCAA Sweet 16, highlighted by his two-goal performance in the Huskies 3-1 win over Cornell in NCAA Second Round. His 24 points in 2025 marked the highest total by a Husky since Abdou Mbacke Thiam's 35-point campaign in 2018. Brummett also delivered four game-winning goals this year, ranking 15th nationally and second in the conference. He earned Third Team All-BIG EAST honors after his standout senior campaign.

Hanni scored three goals and recorded five assists totaling eleven points, his second consecutive season recording double digit points. His 39 shots were third on the Huskies roster this year. Hanni was also named to the All-BIG EAST First Team in 2025.
Senior captain Nicolas Tomerius (Berlin, Germany) was named to the All-East Region Second Team for the first time in his career. Tomerius appeared in all 21 matches for the Huskies, making 13 starts in the midfield, before transitioning to defense for the final 6 matches of the season.
