Joining Kinsella Bishop with All-Conference distinctions are sophomore Brennan Murphy and senior Matt Star who were named to the Second Team and sophomore Callum Hunt who garnered Third Team honors.
 
In his first season in Rockville Centre, Kinsella Bishop has become one of the nation's most prolific goal scorers. Appearing in 12 games while making 10 starts, the Dublin Ireland native stormed onto the scene collecting an ECC leading 13 goals and 27 points.

In his second season sporting the cardinal and white Murphy tallies his first All-Conference award after making starts in 14 of the teams 16 contests. The midfielder has become one of the best in the defensive midfield, providing timely tackles and stopping the opposition in transition. The sophomore has punched in two goals this season on the back of seven shots with three coming on goal.
 
Star adds his first career All-Conference nod in 2025. The senior has seen action in all 16 contests, making 14 starts throughout various parts of the pitch, but has been a mainstay on the back line. Providing composure as a defender, Star has been a spark on offense totaling four points on the back of one goal and two assists while being one of the best clearance defenders in the conference.
 
Rounding out the All-Conference honorees is Hunt who has made 15 starts between the pipes this season. Collecting his second consecutive Third Team honor, the 2024 Rookie of the Year has made crucial saves in conference play to help the Lions to a 2-1-5 record.
