TROY, N.Y. – Four members of the Union College men's soccer team were recognized for their play on the pitch this season by earning spots on the All-Liberty League Teams, the conference announced on Tuesday afternoon.
 
Senior Declan Crowley and sophomore Kofi Sarfoh both earned All-League second-team laurels, while junior Eamonn Kelley and first-year Joseph Carofano were named to the All-League third team. The All-Conference honors are the first for all four student-athletes.
 
Crowley was the leader of the Union defensive unit that allowed only 10 goals in nine conference matches this season, including only two games with more than one goal conceded. The senior captain paced the team in minutes played for the second straight season while also recording one assist in 18 games (17 starts). In 64 games and 44 starts on defense for Union, he scored two goals with four assists for eight points.
 
Sarfoh tied for the Liberty League lead with 10 goals on the year, the most by a Union men's soccer player since 2019, and helped Union lead the Liberty League by averaging over 2.3 goals per game. Along with one assist, the sophomore ranked third in the conference overall in points with 21, and also tied for eighth with seven points in eight conference matches. In just two seasons at Union, the sophomore already has 13 goals and 27 points in his first 33 games in garnet.
 
Carofano was a key contributor to the Union offense as a rookie, recording a team-leading seven assists and scoring three goals for 13 points. A two-time Liberty League Rookie of the Week, he led all conference rookies in assists and ranked second in points among conference newcomers this season, while recording at least one point in eight of his 16 appearances.
  
Kelley was another key member of the defensive and midfield corps for the Garnet Chargers on the season, ranking second on the team with five goals and adding one assist for 11 points. The junior started 18 matches and ranked fifth on the team in minutes played, making contributions on both sides of the field. Over three seasons, the junior has scored six goals with two assists for 14 points in 44 career games (29 starts).
 
With Union's four All-Conference players leading the way, the Garnet Chargers finished the 2026 season with a 9-8-2 record and earned the most wins in a season for the program since 2019. The team also finished above .500 for the second straight season under second-year head coach John Ciano, building a foundation for success for a program that graduates just three seniors this year.
