If you follow Wildcats soccer, you've got reason to cheer. The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced its men's soccer honors Thursday, and seven Northern players made the cut. Freshman forward Sergio Cano Castro is the Freshman of the Year and joins senior captain Luca Rosen and defender Marcos Gallardo Rozano on the First Team.

Cano Castro's 10 assists tie for third in the country, and he's the first player in NMU men's soccer history with 10 or more in a season. Rosen, a First Team pick for the second straight season, led the GLIAC in goals, points and shots.

Organizers had planned sessions on engineering, nursing, welding, K-12 teaching and more, each with a hands-on piece. An industry and academic expo let students talk with faculty and professionals. Most visitors plan to enter the workforce rather than go to college.

“We're doing our best to show a lot of hands-on opportunities, so they can go back and do the hero work that it takes to keep the U.P. running every day.”

Jeff Korpi, NMU associate vice president of Northern Student Experience

The series targets a gap. According to the MI Data Center, about 56% of young men enroll in college within a year of graduating high school, compared with 69% of young women.
