Trevor Newquist, Saint Mary's College
One of the most successful student-athletes all-time for the Saint Mary's men's soccer program. Newquist graduated as a member of the first West Coast Conference championship team, led the Gaels to two NCAA Tournament appearances and left as the winningest class in history with a 40-25-16 record.

In 2011, Newquist anchored the defense for the Gaels' first WCC Championship in school history and led Saint Mary's to an exciting Round of 16 berth in the NCAA Tournament. In his senior season at Saint Mary's in 2012, Newquist was named the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year and First Team NSCAA All-Far West Region, marking an incredible four-year run as a Gael.
 
An athletic defender who can score goals, Newquist ended his career in the top 10 in the record books in goals scored, assists and matches played.
