United Soccer Coaches Division III All-Region Teams
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Senior midfielder
James Cahill has captured a spot on the United Soccer Coaches Division III All-Region V Third Team, it was announced on Tuesday.
It is the first career all-region honor for Cahill, who has now earned four different postseason awards this fall. Last month, he gained First Team All-Landmark Conference recognition, and he was also selected to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team as well as the Landmark Conference All-Sportsmanship Team.
Starting all 20 games this season, Cahill finished as the team's second-leading scorer, posting 10 points on three goals and four assists. In his biggest goal of the season, he struck on a penalty kick in the fifth minute of Drew's Landmark Conference first-round victory at Goucher College, and he also converted the second PK in a shootout victory at the University of Scranton in the conference semifinals. In addition, Cahill recorded one goal and one assist in a 4-3 win over Immaculata University, scored a goal in a 2-0 victory over DeSales University, and provided an assist on the game-winning goal in a 2-1 Landmark Conference victory over Juniata College. Also one of the team's most durable players, he finished second on the team in minutes played and went the full 90 minutes in all but four games.
For his career, Cahill did not miss a single game, playing in all 76 of Drew's matches over the last four years while starting the team's last 58 contests. He finished with 35 points on 14 goals and seven assists.
Cahill helped lead the Rangers to an outstanding bounce-back season this past fall in which the squad posted a final record of 11-6-3. After the team finished ninth in the conference standings in 2024, the Rangers placed fifth this season to earn the No. 5 seed in the Landmark Conference Championship tournament. Drew went on to upset two higher-seeded teams on the road to reach the Landmark championship game for the fourth time in team history. The Blue and Green opened the postseason with a 2-0 first-round victory at No. 4 seed Goucher, then in the semifinals at top-seeded, No. 17-ranked, and undefeated Scranton, the Rangers won a penalty-kick shootout 5-4 after a 1-1 tie in regulation and two overtime periods.
