⚽ Mike Ryan (Rutgers-Camden) — Men's Soccer, 2012-15

The NJAC's all-time leading goal scorer with 75 career goals, Ryan was a three-time All-American, earning five All-America honors across two organizations. A two-time NJAC Offensive Player of the Year and four-time All-NJAC First Team selection, he helped lead the Scarlet Raptors to three NJAC championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the 2013 national championship game. He finished his career with 166 points and a program-record 23 game-winning goals. 🏆

In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the New Jersey Athletic Conference, the NJAC will name its Top 70 Student-Athletes in the 70-year history of the conference. All selections were made by a panel comprised of current and former athletic administrators, current and former athletic communications personnel, conference office staff, and media.
