PORTLAND, Ore. – Each earning top national academic honors for the 2025 season, Western Oregon’s
Yahir Ocampo Navarro and Western Washington’s
Sebastiano Silvetti represented Great Northwest Athletic Conference men’s soccer on a nation-wide stage.
Each player garnered College Sports Communicators second-team Academic All-American recognition, marking the first such honors of their respective careers. Ocampo Navarro was the 2025 GNAC Player of the Year, helping lead the Wolves to a share of their second straight GNAC regular-season title. He was recognized last week as a first-team All-American as well. A senior defender for the Vikings, Silvetti helped lead his team to a spot in the first-ever GNAC Championships tournament.
The duo was also among 20 GNAC men’s soccer players who were recognized on the CSC academic all-district list for the 2025 season. Saint Martin’s had a GNAC-leading six academic all-district selections, while Western Washington and Seattle Pacific each had five players recognized on that list.
Both the academic all-district and Academic All-America awards are reserved for players who combine excellence in the classroom with strong contributions to their teams on the field.
