Two members of the Hobart soccer team were named to the 2025 Academic All-District Men’s Soccer Team, selected by College Sports Communicators. Seniors Tommy Chyzowych (Holmdel/Holmdel, N.J.) and Brian Sheehan (Seton Hall Prep/Basking Ridge, N.J.) were recognized for their combined excellence on the pitch and in the classroom.
Academic All-District teams recognize student-athletes who are starters or significant contributors to their team, have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher and have completed at least one full year at their institution. Chyzowych and Sheehan will advance to the national Academic All-America® ballot.
A business management and entrepreneurship major, Chyzowych also represented Hobart on the 2025 Liberty League All-Academic Team. He also was a 2024 Arnold Scholar-Athlete Award recipient.
The two-year starting goalkeeper for Hobart, Chyzowych compiled an 11-1-4 record this season with a league-leading 0.63 GAA and an .800 save percentage. He also led the conference with seven shutouts. Chyzowych was voted the 2025 Liberty League Defensive Player of the Year.
A transfer from Lehigh, he appeared in 33 matches for the Statesmen, registering a 16-7-10 record, a 0.76 GAA, a .797 save percentage and 13 shutouts.
An economics major, Sheehan is making his second appearance on the Academic All-District Team. He’s also a two-time Liberty League All-Academic selection.
A defender on the field, Sheehan started all 19 games for the Statesmen this season. He scored the first goal of the season, the game-winner, for Hobart against Kean. Sheehan was a key contributor to a defensive unit that allowed a league-low 12 goals and registered a league-high nine shutouts. He was elected to the All-Liberty League first team.
A four-year starter, Sheehan produced five goals, three of which were game winners, and four assists for 14 points in 63 career matches.
Hobart went unbeaten in the regular season (13-0-5), winning the Liberty League regular season and tournament championships. The Statesmen earned the program’s 10th NCAA tournament bid, suffering a heartbreaking 1-0 overtime defeat against Messiah in the first round.
