The Empire 8 Conference announced its 2025 Empire 8 Men's Soccer Championship All-Tournament Team on Wednesday, Nov. 12. Forward Dylan Thody, a senior from SUNY Geneseo, was named the 2025 Empire 8 Tournament Most Vaulable Player.
Thody tallied a pair of goals and an assist in three tournament games, as the Knights won their first Empire 8 Championship in program history. He assisted on Geneseo's lone goal throughout regulation and overtime before calmly scoring in the penalty kick session, as the Knight's advanced after playing No. 5 seed Utica to a 1-1 draw in the semifinals. In Saturday's title game, he scored Geneseo's first goal in the second half and then scored his second goal of the game on a penalty kick in overtime, leading the Knights to a 2-1 win over No. 2 SUNY Brockport and earn an automatic berth into the 2025 NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship Tournament.
Thody was one of four SUNY Geneseo student-athletes to earn All-Tournament Team honors.
