(MARQUETTE COMMUNICATIONS) – Freshman forward Tomiwa Adewumi headlined a group of three Marquette University men’s soccer student-athletes recognized by the conference on Wednesday as the BIG EAST announced its 2026 postseason awards.
With the selections of Adewumi, Konrad Horgøien and Stoka, Marquette produced three All-BIG EAST honorees in the same season for the first time since 2021. It is the seventh time in the program’s BIG EAST era that the Golden Eagles have earned at least three postseason all-conference selections.
Led by the all-conference trio, Marquette featured one of the league’s most productive attacks in 2026, ranking third in the BIG EAST in goals (37), goals per game (2.18) and points (110), while placing fourth in assists with 36.
Adewumi became the first Marquette freshman to earn First Team All-BIG EAST honors since the program joined the league in 2005, and is just the second freshman to be selected to the Fiirst Team since at least 2013, joining Georgetown’s JT Marcinkowski (2015). The freshman forward finished the regular season with a team-high 10 goals and 23 points. Adewumi ranked fourth in the conference in both goals and points and was fourth in goals per game at 0.67.
Horgøien earned his first career all-conference selection after finishing second on the team with eight goals and 21 points. The junior forward recorded four game-winning goals during the regular season and formed one of the conference’s top attacking duos alongside Adewumi. Horgøien ranked sixth in the BIG EAST in points, tied for fifth in goals and was sixth in points per game (1.24).
Stoka was recognized with Third Team All-BIG EAST honors after directing Marquette’s attack from the midfield. The graduate student led the Golden Eagles with seven assists, tying for fifth in the conference in assists and ranking eighth in assists per game (0.41). He also added two goals and totaled 11 points on the season.
Marquette closed the regular season with a 10-6-1 overall record, reaching double-digit victories for the first time since 2013. The Golden Eagles scored 37 goals during the regular season, the program’s highest total since 2001.
