SAN LUIS OBISPO – Having already earned All-Big West first team and United Soccer Coaches All-Far West Region second team praise for a standout 2025 junior season, Cal Poly men’s soccer defender Parker Owens was named to the USC NCAA Division I Scholar All-America second team on Thursday.
A business administration major, Owens was the lone Big West performer named to the United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-America first or second team.
With Owens in the lineup during the 2025 season, Cal Poly captured a second successive Big West regular season title while matching a program record with 10 shutouts. The Mustangs also conceded just 15 total goals – the second fewest among Big West programs.
Despite seeing his year curtailed Oct. 18 through injury, Owens started 15 matches while averaging 85.1 minutes per appearance. He also scored the eventual game-winning goal in a 2-0 victory at San Diego State (Sept. 21). Owens has started 34 of a possible 39 matches during the past two seasons.
As a program in 2025, Cal Poly (9-6-5) – producing its highest victory total in a decade – won its final three regular season matches to finish in a three-way tie for the Big West regular season title. The Mustangs then defeated UC San Diego in the Big West Championship opening round before falling at UC Irvine in the semifinals.
