LEO FERNANDES (Men's Soccer)
Leonardo Fernandes made his mark on the Stony Brook men's soccer program the moment he stepped foot on campus in 2009. As a freshman, he tied Stony Brook's Division I record for goals by a rookie and by his junior season was the program's all-time Division I leader in points scored. The three-time America East Midfielder of the Year received recognition from the NSCAA following his junior campaign, being named to the NSCAA All-Northeast Region First Team.
 
Fernandes' illustrious soccer career continued on to the professional scene after being selected in the fourth round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft. He went on to play with the Philadelphia Union of the MLS before taking the pitch for the New York Cosmos Soccer team where he received the North American Soccer League Young Player of the Year Award.
 
In 2017, Fernandes signed with his current team, the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the United Soccer League.
