six players on the All-Big East teams.
Sabri Hanni was the only Husky named to the All-Big East First Team. The redshirt sophomore scored three goals and added five assists. He was previously named to the 2024 All-Big East Third Team.
UConn placed four players on the All-Big East Second Team, the most of any team in the conference. Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Kyle Durham, junior Ayoub Lajhar, senior Nicolas Tomerius, and senior Charlie Holmes all earned Second Team honors. For Tomerius, it was his second All-Big East Second Team selection, having also earned the honor in 2023.
