PRINCETON, N.J. —  With the Ivy League Men’s Soccer Tournament on the horizon, the Ivy League has announced the 2026 All-Ivy Teams and Major Award winners.

Cornell’s Connor Miller was named the League’s Offensive Player of the Year after voting amongst the league's head coaches. The senior midfielder led the Ivy League with eight assists, while ranking second in total points (16). The Centennial, Colorado native was also among the top 10 in goals (10th/4), shots on goal (9th/13), and total shots (7th/30) while being the centerpiece of an offensive unit that led the Ivy League with 38 goals, 2.53 goals per game, and a scoring margin of 1.40 across 15 games.
 
The Defensive Player of the Year award was awarded to Penn’s Connor Dawson. A three-time All-Ivy honoree, Dawson logged 1,206 minutes and was the anchor of a back line that earned four clean sheets on the year and held opponents to one goal or less on 10 occasions. The O’Fallon, Illinois native also scored a goal which proved to be the eventual game-winner against Brown in mid-October.
 
Freshman sensation Andrew Miles of Cornell earned Rookie of the Year honors. The Big Red’s newest face on the pitch made an immediate impact with five goals, three assists and 13 total points. A native of Novato, California, Miles appeared in all 15 games with six starts and scored a goal in four of the team’s final five matches to end the regular season.
 
After leading the program to its first regular season title since 2012, Cornell's coaching staff, led by veteran head coach John Smith, was named Coaching Staff of the Year. The Big Red finished the regular season 11-3-1 overall with a 6-0-1 conference mark, earning the league's No. 1 seed in this week’s Ivy League Tournament.
 
The All-Ivy First Team featured an honoree from seven different League institutions. Dawson and Miller were each unanimous selections to the All-Conference First Team along with another Penn student-athlete in Marco Bottene. Brown’s Mathias Hille and Princeton’s Bardia Hormozi rounded out the five unanimous honorees.
 
Jack Ryan Jeremiah was also selected to the First Team, giving Penn three members on the First Team, while the Princeton duo of Andrew Samuels and Roka Tsunehara gave the Tigers three First Team placements as well. Columbia’s tandem of Jack and Joe McDaid, along with Sven Meacham (Yale), Adam Poliakov (Harvard), and Adam Schaban (Cornell) rounded out the First Team honorees.

Additionally, one Ivy League men’s soccer student-athlete from each institution was recognized for their commitment in the classroom and on the pitch as members of the 2026 Ivy League Men’s Soccer Academic All-Ivy team.
