First Team:
Milos Bisenic (JR, M, Nis, Serbia/Grammar School Svetozar Markovic) – Second All-UAA honor (2024 1st TM); Bisenic was again one of the top scorers in the UAA, leading the Yellowjackets with seven goals and three assists for a total of 17 points. The Nis, Serbia native appeared in all 18 games, making 17 starts, and took 43 shots, putting 18 on goal. The junior ranked fourth in the UAA in goals and shots, tied for fourth in points and tied for sixth in shots on goal. Bisenic also notched a trio of game-winners, tied for the third-most in the UAA and 80th in Division III. Two of Bisenic's game-winners came in UAA play against No. 3 WashU and Carnegie Mellon, while his other came as part of a hat-trick performance at York (PA) on Sept. 27, Rochester's first hat-trick since 2021.
Second Team:
Mikey Burke (SR, D, Greenville, SC/JL Mann) – First All-UAA honor; One of the 'Jackets' most consistent defenders, Burke appeared in 17 games, making 16 starts, and played 1,443 minutes, the second-most among URochester field players. Statistically, Burke notched one assist and took eight shots, putting one shot on goal. The senior also played all 90 minutes in six of seven conference matches, as well as in seven non-conference matches. The senior's lone assist came in Rochester's 3-1 win at St. John Fisher on Sept. 17, while Burke also came up with a huge team save against CWRU on Oct. 4, heading away a potential score to keep UR and CWRU tied in the 41st minute.
Kamal Ibrahim (GR, F, Bronx, NY/Choate Rosemary Hall (CT)) – Second All-UAA honor (2024 2nd TM); Ibrahim turned in another superb season at the top of Rochester's formation, accumulating four goals and two assists for a total of 10 points, the third-most on the squad. The graduate forward took 30 shots (15 on goal) and appeared in all 18 games, making seven starts. Two of Ibrahim's goals and both of the graduate student's assists also came against conference foes, as the Bronx, NY native assisted on scores in UR's wins against No. 3 WashU and at Carnegie Mellon, and scored against Brandeis and CWRU. Ibrahim's speed consistently gave the Yellowjackets opportunities in the offensive zone, helping set up several free kicks and scoring opportunities.
Johnny Makula (SO, F, Rochester, NY/Home School) – First All-UAA honor; Makula led Rochester in conference play with seven points, three goals, and an assist, and totaled 12 points across the 2025 campaign, the second-most on the team. Overall, Makula scored five goals and tallied two assists on a team-high 45 shots and 23 on goal, appearing in all 18 games and making 16 starts. The Rochester, NY native ranked third in the UAA in both shots and shots on goal, and tallied a pair of game-winners against St. John Fisher and NYU. Three of Makula's goals came in UAA action against NYU, No. 3 WashU and No. 6 Emory, while he also notched an assist against No. 6 Brandeis.
Honorable Mention:
Tyler Moran (SR, M, East Amherst, NY/St. Joseph's Collegiate) – First All-UAA honor; Moran led all URochester field players in minutes, playing 1,448 minutes across all 18 games and 16 starts. The senior midfielder never left the field in conference play, one of just three 'Jackets to total 430 minutes against UAA foes. Statistically, Moran notched an assist and took 11 shots, two of which were on goal, with his lone assist coming on Makula's game-winner vs. St. John Fisher. The senior was a valuable member of URochester's midfield, helping the 'Jackets push the ball upfield into the offensive zone, while also contributing defensively with both his feet and head.
Sebastian Ballesteros (FY, M, Houston, TX/Awty International) – First All-UAA honor; Ballesteros impressed in his first season with the Yellowjackets, tallying two goals and three assists for a total of seven points on 16 shots (eight on goal). The first-year quickly took over a starting role, appearing in all 18 games and making 16 starts, starting every contest after URochester's first two games of the season. Both of Ballesteros' goals came in the 'Jackets' 3-1 win at St. John Fisher on Sept. 17, while the Houston, TX native added assists against SUNY Brockport and in wins over Oswego State and SUNY Geneseo, assisting on the 'Jackets' opening goals in both matches. In total, Ballesteros played 1,305 minutes, the third-most among Yellowjacket field players, becoming a key cog in Rochester's midfield down the stretch.
