Rafa Rios has been named ASUN Defensive Player of the Year. He helped North Florida allow only four goals in eight ASUN Conference matches.
This season, Rafa started all but one game and played 1,487 minutes, adding 2 goals and 1 assist.
North Florida won the ASUN regular season and earned a bye through the quarter-finals of the conference tournament. On November 9, they face fourth-seeded Stetson in the semifinal, with a place in the ASUN Championship final at stake.
We wish Rafa the best for the rest of the season and look forward to seeing how far North Florida can go in the postseason.
