Five Monks Garner All-GNAC Accolades

STANDISH, Maine – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) men's soccer postseason honors have been announced, and five Saint Joseph's College players have earned recognition.

Sophomore Nick Marion (Windham, Maine) and junior Zander Haskell (Scarborough, Maine) were named to the First Team, while sophomore Cole Bishop (Gorham, Maine), senior Joseph Perron (South Portland, Maine), and junior Diego Robinson (Hinesburg, Vt.) collected Second Team honors.

Marion garnered the first All-Conference nod of his career after netting nine goals with six assists for 24 total points during his sophomore season. The breakout forward ranked third in the GNAC in assists and fifth in both goals and points this fall.

Haskell, a Merrimack transfer, gave the Monks another top-tier scoring threat despite missing several early-season contests due to injury. He made an immediate impact upon his return and capped his first season in Standish with eight goals—the second-highest total on the team and sixth-most in the GNAC—including all three tallies in the Monks' 3–0 GNAC Quarterfinal win over Dean College.

Also earning All-Conference recognition for the first time, Bishop battled through injuries to post his best collegiate campaign, tallying six goals—including two game-winners—and four assists for 16 points across 15 appearances (14 starts), all career highs.

Perron, a forward by trade, showcased his versatility by logging minutes all over the pitch en route to his first All-Conference selection. Offensively, he contributed a goal and two assists for four points and, late in the season, transitioned to the back line, where he excelled as a lockdown defender.

Robinson, a three-time All-Conference honoree, earned Second Team recognition for the second time after scoring once with two assists while starting all 17 games this fall. A threat on set pieces, the junior center back has started all 53 games of his career, totaling four goals and four assists to date.

Under seventh-year Head Coach Will Pike '11, Saint Joseph's finished the 2025 campaign with an 8–9–1 overall record and a 7–4–1 GNAC mark, securing the #4 seed in the conference tournament. The Monks opened postseason play with a 3–1 victory over #5 Dean College before falling to eventual champion University of Saint Joseph (Conn.), 3–0, in the semifinals.
