COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The NCAA released its All-Tournament Team for the NCAA Division II Championship site on Sunday (Dec. 14) evening. Payton Roehrich of Fort Hays State was one of 11 individuals named to the team, comprised of student-athletes from the four teams competing at the championship site.
 
Even in the 1-0 loss to Rollins in the national semifinal, Roehrich recorded four saves, including crucial stops in both the first and second halves to keep the margin at just one and give his team a chance to level the score. Unfortunately, the equalizing goal never came for the Tigers as Roehrich finished the year with a stellar 0.43 goals against average, 54 saves, an .857 save percentage, 19 wins, and 11 individual shutouts between the pipes. The goals against average, save percentage, wins total, and shutout total were all new single-season records for FHSU goalkeepers.
 
Roehrich was an All-America selection by both D2CCA and United Soccer Coaches in 2025 as a true freshman. He was a second-team pick by D2CCA and third-team pick by United Soccer Coaches. He is the second goalkeeper in program history to earn All-America honors, joining Fernando Pina (2018), but he is the first to receive honors from both organizations in the same year. He adds this all-tournament honor to his impressive collection of honors for the season.

Below is the NCAA Championship site All-Tournament Team for 2025.
