BAKERSFIELD, Calif. \u2013 Following a strong 2026 campaign during which the Cal State Bakersfield men’s soccer team proved to be extremely difficult to defeat, the Roadrunners were well-represented on the All-Big West Teams, as voted on by the league’s head coaches.<\/p>\n
Before CSUB kicks off postseason play on Saturday in Utah, the `Runners will celebrate the eight men who received distinctions on Friday.<\/p>\n
Second Team All-Big West<\/p>\n
Among a slew of veteran leadership and talent, three senior `Runners stood out to the voters and were named Second Team All-Big West: Filip Arras<\/a>, Oshea Foster<\/a>, and Jesse Wangusi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arras ranked seventh in the conference with seven points tallied during Big West play this season. Rarely leaving the field, he played a crucial role on the Bakersfield backline while also proving to be CSUB’s top offensive producer.<\/p>\n Foster tied Arras for goals on the season with five while his speed and athleticism made him a primary target on every scouting report. Wangusi tied for this on the team with six points on the season and made a notable impact in each match.<\/p>\n All-Big West Honorable Mention<\/p>\n A pair of `Runners were on the shortlist for All-Conference honors, receiving votes but taking home Honorable Mention nods: Justin Knighton<\/a> and Joey Velasquez<\/a>.<\/p>\n Knighton is another dangerous, athletic threat for the CSUB offense who tallied three points on the year. Velasquez was a vital part of the CSUB midfield, ranking second on the team with 1,298 minutes played and recording five points.<\/p>\n Big West All-Rookie Team<\/p>\n A trio of `Runner rookies made it on the All-Rookie Team: Lorimer Bouman<\/a>, Jackson Chambers<\/a>, and Josh Robinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bouman represented the offensive half of this group, tying for third with six points including a pair of goals in Big West play. Chambers and Robinson helped anchor the Bakersfield defense. Chambers led the `Runners with 1,395 minutes played this season while helping the squad tally four shutouts. Robinson filled in when a veteran teammate went down with injury and proved to be a strong force on the back line, seeing the pitch for all but 47 minutes during league play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif. \u2013 Following a strong 2026 campaign during which the Cal State Bakersfield men’s soccer team proved…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-519663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
