PHILADELPHIA – Alex Touche, a former Penn men's soccer standout, signed a contract with New Mexico United of the United Soccer League. An Albuquerque native, Touche becomes the fifth signing for the New Mexico club ahead of the 2021 season, the first at the defender position. Prior to his time with Penn, Touche attended Albuquerque Academy and played three seasons with USL League 2's Albuquerque Sol.

Touche had a decorated career with the Quakers. Playing three seasons on the pitch, he earned All-Ivy honors in each including back-to-back first-team nods. In 2019, he was voted the Ivy's Defensive Player of the Year by the Ancient Eight coaches to go along with United Soccer Coaches (USC) All-Region, All-ECAC, and Philadelphia Soccer Six All-Star honors. Touche wrapped up his list of awards being named Philadelphia Soccer Six Player of the Year.

Though a back for Penn, Touche totaled 16 points off eight goals. Of his eight goals, half of them were match-winners with three coming his sophomore season. Defensively, Touche was a part of 14 shutouts.
