CORVALLIS, Ore. — The Cascade Collegiate Conference announced its 2026 men's soccer postseason awards Thursday, with two Walla Walla University student-athletes earning All-Conference recognition following strong individual performances throughout the season.

Sophomore forward Paulo Tostado earned First Team All-Conference honors, while junior goalkeeper Sebas Vargas was named to the Second Team. The recognition comes after a competitive season for the Wolves, who fell just short of securing the program's first-ever CCC postseason tournament berth.

Tostado led the Wolves' offensive attack throughout the season, finishing with a team-high seven goals, including six in conference play. His six CCC goals tied him for fourth among conference players, while his seven total goals placed him sixth overall in the conference. The sophomore established himself as one of Walla Walla's primary offensive threats, consistently creating scoring opportunities and providing an attacking presence for the Wolves.

On the defensive side, Vargas earned Second Team recognition following a strong season in goal for Walla Walla. The junior recorded 51 saves and four shutouts, with all four shutouts coming against conference opponents. His performances in goal played an important role in keeping the Wolves competitive throughout the CCC schedule, particularly in closely contested matches where defensive consistency proved critical.

The individual honors highlight the progress made by the Walla Walla men's soccer program during the 2026 campaign. Competing in a challenging Cascade Collegiate Conference, the Wolves remained in contention for a postseason berth until the closing stages of the season, narrowly missing an opportunity to make program history.

With both Tostado and Vargas eligible to return next season, the Wolves will look to build on their individual success and the team's progress as they continue pursuing their first CCC postseason appearance.
