COMPLETE ALL-CCC AWARDS LIST
ASHLAND – Senior goalkeeper
Casey Ruvolo became the second player in Southern Oregon men's soccer history to earn three All-Cascade Conference first-team nods and was joined by three teammates on the awards list released Friday.
Junior defender/midfielder
Daniel Palomino was another repeat first-team member for the Raiders, who completed the regular season at 10-4-4. Graduate forward
Irwin Leon was an All-CCC selection for the third time, making the second team with sophomore midfielder
Jonathan Gaspar.
Ruvolo, a fourth-year Raider from New River, Ariz., has been in goal every minute of the season for SOU and added six clean sheets to his total. His save rate of 79.7% is the best among CCC keepers with at least 40 saves – he owns 55 of them – and his goals-allowed average stands at 0.78. With one more shutout, he'd match the Raider career record of 30 established by the program's only other three-time first-team pick, Wyatt Zabinski.
Palomino – a junior from Medford who was also a first-team performer in 2024 – has held together a defense that was banged up for long stretches of the fall. In the attack, he has career-highs of three goals and five assists.
Leon, a product of Moreno Valley, Calif., previously made the All-CCC team twice at Corban and did it again in his first season at SOU with team-highs in goals (9) and total points (21). Gaspar, another transfer from Forest Grove, has provided consistency while starting every game in his first year with the team.
After going 5-4-3 in conference play, the Raiders will be the No. 6 seed in the CCC Championships presented by U.S. Bank at Lithia & Driveway Fields in Medford. They play a quarterfinal game at 4 p.m. Saturday against No. 3 seed Rocky Mountain (Mont.), whose freshman star David Russell was voted offensive player of the year.
