LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Bloomsburg men's soccer team was tabbed third in the Eastern Division of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) as voted on by the league's head coaches in the annual preseason poll on Tuesday.
 
Men's soccer enters the 2026 campaign after a 10-3-6 season in 2025 that culminated in a trip to the PSAC Semifinals. It was the fourth-straight PSAC Tournament berth for the Huskies under head coach Mark Bassett.
 
Sat atop the Eastern Division is the PSAC Runner-up, Millersville. The Marauders received four first-place votes to claim the top spot in the preseason rankings. West Chester was picked second in the East while claiming a pair of first-place votes while the Huskies round out the top three. East Stroudsburg sits just behind the maroon and gold in fourth while Shepherd and Shippensburg take fifth and sixth, respectively.  
 
Gannon takes the top spot in the Western Division for the fifth straight-season after claiming its first-ever PSAC Championship. Seton Hill received on first-place vote while getting picked second in the West while Lock Haven closes out the top three.

Across three seasons donning the maroon and gold, the State College native has tallied 13 goals and eight assists.
