PROVIDENCE, R.I.- It was announced today (Nov. 12) that five players from the Providence College's men's soccer team received All-BIG EAST honors following their standout performances in the 2024 regular season. Graduate student Bernardo Prego (Evora, Portugal) earned a spot on the All-BIG EAST First Team, while graduates Lukas Burns (Cinnaminson, N.J.) and Rodrigo Vaza (Torres Vedras, Portugal), along with junior Bruno Rosa (Cascais, Portugal), made the All-BIG EAST Second Team. Junior Diego Batista (Barcelos, Portugal) was named to the All-BIG EAST Third Team.
Defender Bernardo Prego has delivered an outstanding performance this season for the Friars. Logging 1,312 minutes on the field, Prego has contributed four assists, including two on game-winning goals. His defensive skills have been instrumental in securing seven shutouts for the team.
In his final collegiate season with the Friars, goalkeeper Burns has recorded seven shutouts in 18 games. He matched a season-high with five saves in the Friars' 2-0 BIG EAST Quarterfinal win against Connecticut. Burns was named the 2024 BIG EAST Preseason Goalkeeper of the Year and is now a three-time recipient of All-BIG EAST honors.

This marks Rosa's third BIG EAST recognition and first All-BIG EAST honor. Rosa is a two-time mention to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll (10/23/23 & 9/30/24).
Midfielder Vaza has been a key component for the Friars this season. Vaza has tallied two goals and two assists, including the game-winning goal in the Friars' 1-0 upset over No. 8 Seton Hall earlier this season. Vaza was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week on September, 9, 2024
