NEW ORLEANS – James Madison men's soccer got representation in the end-of-year Sun Belt Conference awards as Ikenna Nnawuchi nabbed a spot on the SBC All-Freshman Team, as announced by the league Friday afternoon.Â
The first year defender was a standout amongst his peers, starting in 16 games and playing 1,346 minutes for the Dukes in 2026. Nnawuchi aided JMU's stellar backline, helping the Dukes hold league foes to just 0.56 goals per game, the second-lowest scoring output in the conference.Â
Additionally, Nnawuchi's excellent defense was critical to JMU notching eight clean sheets, five of which came in conference play. Offensively, Nnawuchi took two shots, one of which was on frame this season.Â
Fourth-seeded James Madison takes on fifth-seeded Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals round of the SBC Championship this Sunday. The Dukes and Chanticleers will kick off at 7 p.m. on ESPN+ in Morgantown, W. Va.Â
