Luca Rosen and Alessandro Scialanga named to D2CCA All-Midwest Region team

MARQUETTE, Mich. -- Luca Rosen and Alessandro Scialanga of the NMU men's Soccer team have been named to the 2025 D2CCA All-Midwest Region Second Team, as announced by the Conference Commissioners Association (CCA) on Tuesday.

Rosen and Scialanga were two of 27 student-athletes selected across the Midwest region, and just two of eight selected from the GLIAC. NMU was one of just eight schools to have two or more student-athletes represented. 

One of the best goal-scorers in the GLIAC, in 12 conference matches, Rosen paced the GLIAC in almost every major statistical category, including goals (9), game-winning goals (4), points (19), shots (68), and shots on goal (27), en route to earning an All-GLIAC First Team 'At-Large' recognition. The striker earned GLIAC Forward of the Week on two separate occasions, most of any forward in the GLIAC this season. Rosen added assists in both the GLIAC semifinals and GLIAC championship en route to the teams first GLIAC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearence.

A native of Sutri, Italy. Scialanga played the full ninety minutes in every match before picking up an injury in the first 11 minutes at Roosevelt at the end of September. The defender made a miraculous recovery, and after giving six minutes at the end of a match on the road to test his fitness, the captain came back swinging, not playing less than 84 minutes the rest of the season, including the full 110 minutes in Sunday's PK thriller. On top of everything on the defensive side of the ball and being the main-man on set pieces, Scialanga has contributed a goal and three assists, including a pair of helpers in the GLIAC Quarterfinals. 


Sports information directors from NCAA Division II schools and conferences within the Midwest region selected the all-region teams. Those selected to the first team will now move onto consideration for the All-America voting.

The Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
