Four Men’s Soccer Engineers Make All-Conference Team; Montupally Named Rookie of the Year.
On November 15th, the NEWMAC conference released their Men’s Soccer postseason awards, which are determined by the conference’s 9 coaches following the regular season.
Shikhar Motupally ’28 was named Rookie of the Year. Leading the MIT offense with 9 goals (tied for 2nd in the NEWMAC) and 7 assists (tied for 1st in the NEWMAC), Motupally made an instant impact in his first year of collegiate action. This season, three of his goals were game-winners, and he went 2-2 on penalty kicks.
Sophomore Dilin Meloni was the only player named to the All-Conference First Team. Motupally, Aiden Hallinan (Graduate), and Jack Minor ’25 were selected to the Second Team.
