SAINT MARY-OF-THE-WOODS, Ind. — Three members of the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College men's soccer team have earned recognition on the 2026 All-River States Conference teams, with Marc Valderrama and Mats Flick collecting second-team honors and Harry Jackson receiving third-team recognition.

The selections recognize the trio's contributions to the Pomeroys throughout the 2026 campaign as SMWC continues its postseason run.

Valderrama, a senior midfielder from London, England, earned second-team All-RSC honors after leading the Pomeroys with 14 points and eight assists through 18 matches. He has added three goals, including two game-winners, while starting 16 contests.

The attacking midfielder has recorded multiple assists in two matches this season, distributing two against IU East on Oct. 3 and Kentucky Christian on Oct. 31. He also registered a goal and an assist against Taylor on Sept. 16. Valderrama continued his postseason contributions Wednesday, finding the back of the net in SMWC's historic RSC Tournament opening-round victory over IU East.

Flick joined Valderrama on the All-RSC Second Team as a forward. The Pomeroys' leading goal scorer has tallied six goals and 12 points in 14 appearances, including 12 starts.

Flick recorded a pair of two-goal performances during the season, scoring twice against Rose-Hulman on Sept. 29 and again against IU Columbus on Oct. 25. He also found the back of the net in consecutive contests against Taylor on Sept. 16 and Viterbo on Sept. 19. Flick has registered 21 shots, placing 14 on goal for a .667 shots-on-goal percentage and a .286 shooting percentage.

Jackson, a senior goalkeeper from Ellesmere Port, England, rounded out the Pomeroys' honorees with third-team recognition. Jackson has appeared in 17 matches, making 16 starts while logging 1,356 minutes, 39 seconds between the posts. He has recorded a team-high 72 saves, posting a .637 save percentage and a 2.72 goals-against average.

Jackson delivered several standout performances during the season, including a season-high 14 saves against IU Columbus on Oct. 25 and 10 saves against Midway on Oct. 18. He also contributed to one combined shutout while providing veteran leadership for the SMWC defensive unit.

The three selections highlight the contributions of the Pomeroys' veteran leadership as SMWC continues its postseason run.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods advanced to the River States Conference Tournament semifinals Wednesday with a victory over Indiana University East, marking the program's first RSC Tournament win.
