Francis Marion University senior defender David Guevara and graduate student midfielder Antonio Garda have been named to the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) Men's Soccer All-Southeast Region Team for 2025.  Guevara was a first-team selection and Garda was named to the second team.

He played all but 63 minutes this season and helped anchor a defensive that allowed only 15 goals in 17 matches (0.882 goals against average is second in the conference and 21st in NCAA Division II) and only 3.5 shots on goal per match.  He was also instrumental in a defense that posted six shutouts.  He scored one goal, a match-winner in a road win at Ferrum College.

Garda, a native of A Coruna, Spain, is a two-time All-Conference selection (first team in 2025, third team in 2024).  He registered 36 shots, with 18 on goal, scored five goals – including two match-winners – and recorded four assists.  He was second on the team with 14 points.

He was named the conference's Player of the Week once this season, and ranked third in the conference in shot accuracy (.500) and fourth in shots on goal per match (1.29).

The pair guided Francis Marion to an 8-4-5 record, the conference's East Division championship, and the top seed in the conference tournament.
