OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. --- Wayland Baptist senior midfielder, Francis Motsi, has been named the 2025 Sooner Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-SAC. Senior goalkeeper Alex Neri received Second Team All-SAC honors.

A native of Harare, Zimbabwe, Motsi was an offensive enigma for the Pioneers throughout the 2025 season. Motsi led the Sooner Athletic Conference in multiple statistical categories including shots (72) and shots on-goal (48), while also tying for the conference lead in assists with 8. Motsi also scored 8 goals on the season.

Senior Alex Neri, a native of Frosinone, Italy, earned Second Team All-SAC honors after becoming a stalwart for the Pioneers between the posts. Neri finished the 2025 season with a 7-5-2 record, 61 saves in 15 games played, and 1.92 GAA. Across the final five home games for the Pioneers, Neri only allowed three goals, including clean sheets in the final two matches.
