WALTHAM, Mass. –
Michael Haikal and
Luke Mollenhauer from Bentley men's soccer received All-American honors from the United Soccer Coaches on Thursday. Haikal was named to the first team and Mollenhauer to the third team.
This is the second All-American honor of the season for Haikal, who was voted to the third team by D2CCA.
Mollenhauer adds the All-American recognition to his mantle for the 2025 season that includes two first team All-Region nods (USC and D2CAA), the NE10 Defensive Player of the Year and first team All-Conference.
They are the first Bentley players named to an All-American team since Weston Zeiner in 2012.
Haikal, also the NE10 Player of the Year, had eight goals and five game-winners as a midfielder.
Mollenhauer, a center back, led Bentley's defense as they compiled seven shutouts and a 0.94 team goals against average.
The 2025 campaign for the Falcons saw them win the NE10 regular season title, reach the NE10 championship game and earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
