The 10-member All-Region 13 Men’s Soccer Team has been announced for the Fall 2023 season, and Riverland Community College’s freshman defender, Diego Prada, was named the Most Valuable Player.  RCC head coach Frank Spaeth has been named the Region 13 Men’s Soccer Coach-of-the-Year as well.

Prada started 17 games for the Blue Devils on the back line, scoring 2 goals, with one being a game-winner and assisting on 1 goal this season. He anchored a defense that gave up only 26 goals on the season, allowing 1.35 goals per game. Coach Spaeth led his team to an 8-8-3 overall record and 4-3-1 in MCAC play. The Blue Devil’s claimed the Region 13 title and played Harper College to a draw in the Midwest District Championship Game, ultimately losing on penalty kicks.   

Along with Prada, Riverland Community College placed RCC’s Ntsako Baloyi, Alex Ulrich and Luis Lofego on the All-Region 13 Team.
