KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Senior defender Randall Ashong (Nungua, Ghana/Arlington) has been named to the 2025 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division III Men's All-East Region III Fourth Team, as announced on Tuesday. 

Captain and center-back Ashong anchored the Cardinals' defensive unit, emerging as one of the team's most reliable and impactful leaders. Possessing a rare blend of speed, physicality, and composure, Ashong consistently stabilized the back line while serving as the primary ball-handler to initiate Plattsburgh State's attack out of the defensive third. He started 16 games, logged the second-most minutes on the team, and added a goal, all while providing the steady presence and veteran leadership that shaped one of the strongest defensive groups in the conference. His outstanding performance earned him SUNYAC First Team All-Conference honors, further solidifying his status as one of the league's premier defenders.

Ashong joined several SUNYAC players on the All-Region team, which can be found here.
