The 2015 Soccer season ended with an overtime defeat for the Trojans at the Region IX tournament in Denver in early November, but the earlier than expected exit did not stop the region coaches from awarding the team with 12 individual post season awards.

Leading the way for the Trojans was Region IX South player-of-the-year Julian Padilla. The sophomore from Las Cruces, New Mexico was a force up front for the Trojans all season. He scored six goals and also had five assists. Joining Padilla on the first team were Filip Cvetinovic, Saad Hissien and Aleksa Blagojevic.  Cvetinovic, a freshman from Serbia scored nine goals on the season, including a hat-trick against Central CC. Hissien, a sophomore speedster from Denver finished the year with two goals and two assists from the midfield position, and Blagojevic, a sophomore from Serbia contributed four goals and three assists from his defensive wing position.

Earning second team honors for the Trojans were sophomores Wesley Padgett and Lukas Smith, as well as freshmen Emiliano Gomez, Felipe Machado, Jermey Elmore-Klepac and Hector Haros. Filip Milivojevic and Elijah Mwenbitu each earned honorable mention honors.   

The Trojans finished the year 11-8-1.  They will lose nine sophomores to graduation, but should return a solid core of players including two-time NJCAA Goalkeeper of the Week Haros.
