Season Recap Fall 2025

The Fall 2025 season resulted in the two best individual seasons by Tribe EAFC players in the program’s history. William & Mary was the only university in the country to have more than one player make it to the ECAC quarterfinals. In the process, Brandon Carranza-Lopez and Marc Grabulosa-Serra broke university records for best regular season final ranking and best playoff run this season.
