Robert Valdivia, Ryan Leonesio, Danny Murphy, Patrick Sweeney, and Noah Chelberg earned the prestigious honor, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined excellence on the field and in the classroom.
Earlier this month, the same five Warriors were also inducted into the inaugural class of the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society at Stanislaus State, further exemplifying their academic commitment.
Valdivia was named to the 2025 All-CCAA Baseball Honorable Mention Team. This is the third time in his career that Valdivia has been named to the All-CCAA Team.

The senior catcher drove in 19 runs and scored 25 runs. The Atwater native had a .984 fielding percentage with 213 putouts, 29 assists, and just four errors this season.
