PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College men's soccer player Luis Garcia (Gran Canaria, Spain) was named to the 2022 United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division I Men's Players To Watch list for midfielders on Aug. 12.

Garcia played in all 21 games for the Friars last season, including 20 appearances in the starting line-up. He finished the year with 15 points on five goals and five assists.

At the conclusion of the 2021 season, Garcia was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team and United Soccer Coaches All-East Region First Team.
