WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University's Michael Haikal was named a third team All-American by the Division 2 Conference Commissioner's Association on Tuesday.

He becomes the first Bentley men's soccer player to earn an All-America honor since Weston Zeiner in 2012.

Haikal helped lead the Falcons to a standout 2025 season that saw them qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1975. The team also won the NE10 regular season championship for the first time since 1995 and advanced to the NE10 Championship game.

A senior midfielder from North Easton, Massachusetts, he was the NE10 Player of the Year, becoming the first Bentley player to win that award since 1999.

In 17 matches he scored eight goals, five of which were game-winners, and contributed defensively to a team that conceded less than one goal per match.

Haikal was also named first team All-Conference and first team All-Region by the United Soccer Coaches.
