FOREST, Va. – The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) announced its 2026 Men's Soccer all-conference teams and award winners on Thursday, and senior
Spencer Furman and first-year
Rowan Sellers led Washington and Lee's honorees by collecting major awards.
Furman was voted the ODAC/Va. Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while Sellers was named the ODAC Rookie of the Year. Furman is the fifth different player for the program to be named the conference's top scholar athlete, first since
Will Joseph '26 in 2024, with Sellers being the fifth W&L player to claim the top rookie honor and first since Weyimi Agbeyegbe '25 in 2021.
Furman and Sellers both added First Team All-ODAC laurels, along with sophomore
Sami Seife and junior
Miles Furman. Seniors
Matthew Jenkins and
Nick Apostolou made the All-ODAC Second Team with sophomore
Isaac Arrowood, while senior
Jack Travis rounded out the W&L selections with a third team selection.
On the defensive end of the pitch, S. Furman, Apostolou and Arrowood have held things together all season, helping the team post a combined 0.78 goals-against average, allowing 14 goals in 18 games which is the fewest in the ODAC this season. The Generals also have nine shutouts on the season and have limited their opponents to a goal or less 14 times. On the offensive side, Arrowood leads the trio with four points on a goal and two assists, while Furman has added a pair of assists, as well.
Furman brings home the seventh ODAC Scholar Athlete of the Year award in program history, starring in the classroom as an accounting major and art history minor. Furman has made the W&L Scholar Athlete list in each term so far, he is a three-time ODAC All-Academic Team selection and is a two-time College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District pic. Furman has also completed three different finance internships during the summer months over the last three years, most recently at Lincoln International where he will be returning to in a full-time role following graduation.
Sellers has posted one of the best rookie campaigns for a W&L men's soccer player in recent memory, as he leads the 2026 squad with 10 goals and 21 points. His 10 goals are good for fourth most in the ODAC this season, and the most by a Generals first-year player in at least the last 28 years. He has also spread his goals across eight different games this season, including a stretch of three consecutive games with a goal late in the season, including when he found the back of the net twice in the ODAC quarterfinals in W&L's 2-1 win over Randolph-Macon.
Seife has followed up a solid rookie campaign with an even more productive sophomore season, as he has 14 points on five goals and four assists in 18 games. Seife has logged at least one point in nine games this season, including a streak of seven straight games with a point, a stretch in which he totaled three goals and four assists. Seife's points, goals and assists totals are all up from last year in which he notched 10 points on four goals and two assists.
In his first season as the Generals' starting goalkeeper, M. Furman turned in one of the best seasons in the ODAC. He has yielded a 0.69 goals-against average across 1,557:23 of play, with seven shutouts and a 0.806 save percentage. Furman ranks second among ODAC keepers in GAA, total saves (50), save percentage and shutouts. With 15 appearances allowing one or fewer goals, Furman also has an assist to his credit this season, which came in the ODAC quarterfinal win over RMC.
Jenkins collects his third career All-ODAC citation after a third team selection as a sophomore and a first team nod last season. Jenkins leads the Generals with six assists this year, a single-season career high, on top of two goals for a total of 10 points. Jenkins had a bulk of his production come against conference teams, helping the Generals navigate ODAC play with two goals and four assists in those nine games.
Travis gets the first all-conference selection of his career after scoring a pair of goals in 18 games and 12 starts so far this season. Travis was one of the team's key pieces off the bench early in the season, but has started each of the last 11 contests. Both of his goals have come in games he has started, as he found the back of the net once each in a 3-2 win over Maryville and a 3-0 victory against Hampden-Sydney.
