KANSAS CITY, MO – The UIndy men's soccer team placed two student athletes on the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region teams, released Tuesday. Both Joey Longo and Alvaro Sanchez garnered second-team accolades. UIndy's two honorees are tied for second amongst GLVC teams, only trailing GLVC regular season champions, Rockhurst, who captured three spots on the first team. 

Junior midfielder Joey Longo added to his collection of accolades for his 2025 campaign with his second team All-Midwest Region honors. Longo also took home first-team All-GLVC honors, the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award, and CSC Academic All-District honors. Longo combined for nine points this season, with three goals and three assists, including a three point performance against Rockhurst, a goal and an assist.

"Joey truly deserves this great honor," head coach Gabe Hall said. "He was asked to play out of position all season and excelled in the new roll, and I am happy to see his hard work and selflessness was rewarded." 

UIndy's second honoree on this year's All-Midwest Region second-team was junior midfielder Alvaro Sanchez. Along with Longo, Sanchez also claimed All-GLVC honors this season, earning a second-team honor, while also finding himself on the CSC Academic All-District list. Sanchez began the season scoring or assisting in six of the team's first nine games, and combining for 14 points on six goals and two dishes.

The Hounds this season had its most successful season under head coach Gabe Hall, who took the team to its second NCAA Tournament second round appearance under his tenure, after a thrilling two-goal comeback against GLVC foe McKendree in the first round this season.
