Recognizing the top seven performers of the 2025 season.
June 9, 2025 by Josh Katz and Calvin Ciorba in Awards
Each year, Ultiworld presents our annual College Awards. Our staff evaluates the individual performances of players from throughout the season, talking to folks around college ultimate, watching film, and look at statistics, voting upon the awards to decide those to be honored.

D-III Men’s All-American First Team
Louis Douville Beaudoin
(Middlebury)
It’s clear what Louis Douville Beaudoin meant to Middlebury this year when he went down with an injury during warmups of the final. With him, the Pranksters won 15-9 over Lewis and Clark in pool play before they lost to Bacchus in the final. The U24 team member’s pulls, defense, break throws, and leadership was undeniable, and easily made him one of the most talented players in the division this season. With eight goals, 15 assists, four blocks, and only five turnovers, the Pranksters star will have one more year to try and earn Middlebury their first title in the 2020s.
Cole Fairfield (Bowdoin)
Few players attack the end zone with as much fervor as Fairfield. No matter where he or the disc is, he’s always plotting how to join the two in the all-important 20 yard box. His division-leading 29 goals at Nationals proved he’s quite good at the execution, too.
Leo Farley (Lewis & Clark)
Farley’s flair for the dramatic overshadows just how effective of an offensive player he is. His ability to attack downfield defines his play and sets his floor, but it’s his comfort in the backfield that makes him such a difficult matchup.
Jacob Felton (Davenport)
Despite Davenport’s surprise upset in the semifinals, Felton was still everything promised for the Panthers. Felton might easily be the most talented thrower in the division, able to find open receivers no other handlers would dare hitting. With 29 assists and 12 turns, Felton managed to again lead the division in assists and managed way fewer mistakes than last year. It’s a shame this is the last year we’ll see the talented throwing of Felton as he and Davenport move to D-I next year, but it was a joy to watch when he was here.
Peter Mans (Middlebury)
We could write about how Mans is good-to-excellent at everything there is to do in this sport, but it would take too many words. So we’ll leave you with his stats from Nationals: 10G/20A/9D, just a block short of the rare triple-double. That’s how exceptional he is.
Nathan Wang (Carleton CHOP)
D-III is known for having a few star players every year that can lead a team to greatness. With the heavy loads of touches, usually these stars rack up high statistics—both good and bad. What made Nathan Wang such an anomaly in the D-III division was his prowess and composure as the star handler for CHOP. With 4G/20A/4D and only four total turnovers, Wang’s stats are unheard of, especially since we barely even mentioned his name before this season. CHOP will continue to have a high ceiling with Nathan Wang at the helm this next season.
Max Zwerin (Lewis & Clark)
It’s almost poetic the way Max Zwerin, Lewis & Clark’s star, caught the game-winning goal on universe to win his team their first ever championship. Zwerin has remained one of the best cutters in the division these last couple of years, and 2025 proved no different. With the second most goals in the division at 23, no defender could guard Zwerin this season. However, what maybe fans don’t realize is the defensive improvements he’s made. Zwerin played primarily D-line this year, taking the hardest matchups and prevented them from ever getting the disc.
